 New York kicks off 2026 with a focus on affordability and worker protections as Governor Kathy Hochul launches her Affordability Agenda, including middle-class tax cuts delivering nearly one billion dollars in relief to over 8.3 million residents, a historic child tax credit expansion up to one thousand dollars per child under four, and a minimum wage hike to seventeen dollars per hour downstate and sixteen dollars upstate, according to the Governors office. Hochul also proposes no state income tax on up to twenty-five thousand dollars of tipped income in her upcoming FY2027 budget, building on over nine billion dollars in prior tax relief.

In politics, the New York State Association of Counties released its 2026 legislative priorities, urging stronger state-county partnerships to shield taxpayers from federal cost shifts, preserve Medicaid caps, and invest in aging infrastructure amid rising mandates, as outlined by NYSAC President Phil Church. New laws effective January first mandate health insurers cover EpiPens with capped out-of-pocket costs at one hundred dollars annually, breast cancer screenings, and scalp cooling systems for chemotherapy patients, Governor Hochul announced, praising sponsors like Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal for enhancing patient dignity.

Economically, Central New York eyes manufacturing growth from semiconductor projects and infrastructure upgrades, per the Manufacturers Association of Central New York, while broader worker reforms include delivery pay transparency, paid sick leave expansions, and e-bike safety rules, Fox5NY reports. Communities benefit from street vendor penalty reforms and gratuity standards for delivery workers.

A cold snap grips the state, with CBS News New York forecasting snow showers early Sunday from three to nine a.m., potentially an inch north and west, following a blustery start to the year.

Looking Ahead, watch for the 2026 legislative session opening with debates on county priorities and Hochuls budget, plus potential snow into Monday amid warming trends by midweek.
