概要

 New York continues to navigate a dynamic landscape of policy debates, economic momentum, and weather challenges as the 2026 legislative session unfolds. Governor Kathy Hochul's State of the State address emphasized affordability for working families, proposing expansions in universal child care, SUNY and CUNY investments, affordable housing, and nuclear energy, while calling for tax fairness on high earners and corporations to offset federal cuts, according to the New York State AFL-CIO Legislative Alert. Her "Let Them Build Agenda" includes SEQRA reforms to accelerate housing and development on Long Island, as noted by Campolo Media, and a "No Tax on Tips" measure exempting up to $25,000 of tipped income from state taxes starting January 1, per Littler Mendelson reports.

In business news, Empire State Development opened applications for the tenth round of GENIUS NY, the world's largest accelerator for drones, robotics, and autonomy, awarding $3 million to startups through May 2026 and fostering job growth in Central New York, Empire State Development announced. The legislature, now in session since January 7, faces priorities from library aid boosts to $181.3 million sought by the New York Library Association and consumer protections applauded by Consumer Reports.

A massive winter storm struck January 25, dumping up to 10 inches in New York City, 11.4 inches in Central Park—a daily record—and more in upstate areas like Albany and Rochester, triggering Governor Hochul's state of emergency declaration and county closures, as detailed in Wikipedia's storm summary and Thruway Authority releases. Public safety efforts included travel bans and over 440 crashes reported, with at least 11 weather-related fatalities in the state.

Education and community advocates gear up for events like the NYSUT Legislative Reception on February 3, while infrastructure underscores governors' priorities nationwide, per the National Governors Association.

Looking Ahead: Watch for February session days on the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 9th, 10th, and 11th, budget negotiations, GENIUS NY selections, and recovery from the storm's lingering cold.
