In the first major address to New Yorkers as the states’ 57th governor, Kathy Hochul said on Tuesday she wants mandatory mask rule and a vaccine or test-out mandate for all school staff.

Hochul briefly mentioned rent relief and added that there would be “a dramatic change in culture – with accountability and no tolerance for individuals who cross the line” during her administration, which she called the beginning of an “era of transparency.”
