Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Saturday at the Buffalo Museum of Science that New York State is beginning an environmental study of the Kensington Expressway. A leading plan would see the highway capped and made into a tunnel from Best to Easy Ferry streets.
It took a few minutes Monday for Gov. Kathy Hochul to list just some of the serious problems facing New York State, not the least of which remains a pandemic still claiming lives on a daily basis.
The governor proposed a total spending plan of $216.3 billion, up from the $208.9 billion budget enacted last April, and it includes enormous increases in education and health care.
This week, in unveiling her first state budget plan, the Democratic governor put taxpayer dollars behind the partnership rhetoric, proposing to spend huge new amounts of money on all levels of local governments, from schools to counties, cities, towns and villages.
Hochul continues to methodically build momentum following relentless fundraising efforts and potential rivals opt out of challenging her for the party nod.
