ALBANY, New York — Gov. Kathy Hochul wants to cut state income taxes by $1 billion over the next two years — part of an agenda aimed at combating voters’ economic concerns that helped deliver President-elect Donald Trump’s victory. The Democratic governor is also trying to improve her own political standing ahead of her 2026 reelection.

The governor also said the state also will take steps that could lead to the first expansion of nuclear power in decades.

The proposed cuts would apply to roughly three-quarters of New York taxpayers, and credits would go to new parents.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul revealed Tuesday she wants police officers on every New York City overnight subway train for the next six months.

New York City’s subway system is about to see more police on its platforms and train cars as Governor Kathy Hochul ramps up security following recent violent attacks that have shaken riders.

Governor Kathy Hochul has unveiled her agenda in the annual State of the State address, tackling tax cuts, free tuition for high-demand jobs, and inflation relief payments. The centerpiece of her proposals is a plan to station NYPD officers on every subway train overnight to combat rising crime.
