@GovKathyHochul@NYCMayor .@GovKathyHochul says despite only having a childcare plan for the first 2 years:
"We're not pretending to be able to predict enrollment, utilization or federal policies five years from now. So we're...using existing resources today and building toward long term sustainability"
@GovKathyHochul@NYCMayor .@GovKathyHochul confirms her plans to have the state fully fund free childcare for 2 year olds in NYC in her budget proposal - but only has a plan to pay for the first 2 years.

"The newest, most unpredictable challenge (to the state budget) is something very different: direct attacks on states by the Trump administration," Gov. Hochul says as she starts laying out her executive budget proposal
"Once again, there are no income taxes on New Yorkers," Hochul misspeaks. She meant to say no income tax INCREASES. She did not mean to announce the elimination of state income tax
