Associated Press (Center) • Factual Grade 77% • 3 min read
[After being sworn in as Governor of New York, Kathy Hochul said in a speech that] she was directing state health officials to make masks mandatory for anyone entering public or private schools. Her administration will also work to implement a requirement that all school staff statewide either be vaccinated or undergo weekly Covid-19 testing.
...
Hochul pledged quick action to unstick an application bottleneck that has kept federal aid money from flowing to renters who suffered financially because of the pandemic. She said she's readying the state to distribute vaccine booster shots, when they become widely available, including possibly reopening mass inoculation sites.
...
Hochul said she was ordering an overhaul of state government policies on sexual harassment. And she said she would order ethics training for every state government employee. She'll have to work quickly. Hochul has already said she intends to run for a full term and will have just months to establish herself before a spring Democratic primary.

| | YESTERDAY'S POLL Do you support the Democrat's $3.5T expanded infrastructure plan? 615 votes, 90 comments Context: House Democrats push for larger $3.5T budget before $1T bipartisan infrastructure bill. HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS " No - Yes, there are some great items in it that would likely be good for society, but we need to get on stable ground before spending that much or even planning to spend that much.

" Yes - We have long deferred investment in many aspects of our national infrastructure, including physical assets, huma..." " No - First and foremost, the plan is NOT for infrastructure.
