概要

 New York remains gripped by a brutal winter storm that prompted swift emergency actions across the state. Governor Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency on February 21, covering 22 counties amid an extended blizzard warning, following a deadly cold spell that claimed at least 19 lives from hypothermia since January 19, according to Hook Global reports. In New York City, Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani issued Emergency Executive Order No. 3 on February 22, imposing a vehicular travel ban from 9 p.m. Sunday until noon Monday to facilitate snow removal and protect public safety, while closing public schools and city offices except for essential services, as detailed in the NYC Mayor's Office declaration.

State legislature activities continue with the 2026 Joint Legislative Budget Hearing Schedule underway through February 26, allowing stakeholders to scrutinize Governor Hochul's SFY 2026-27 Executive Budget Proposal, per the New York State Legislature announcement. Attorney General Letitia James led a coalition of 12 attorneys general urging the U.S. Senate to reject the SAVE America Act, arguing it would nationalize elections, undermine state authority, and disenfranchise millions by requiring in-person proof of citizenship for voter registration, according to the New York Attorney General's press release.

Economically, Mayor Mamdani released a preliminary fiscal year 2027 budget on February 17 proposing property tax hikes totaling billions through 2030—up 9.5% starting next year—unless the state raises corporate and high-income taxes, Sullivan & Cromwell reports. Community efforts persist, with resolutions like K00963 memorializing FFA Organization Week from February 21-28 and J1618 commending the National Action Network's convention, alongside AFL-CIO pushes for a billion-dollar Sustainable Future Fund.

Public safety measures dominate amid the weather crisis, with NYC suspending alternate-side parking and monitoring price gouging. No major business developments or employment shifts emerged this week, though federal tax guidance on production property depreciation could aid manufacturers.

Looking Ahead: Budget hearings wrap February 26, Ryan Hall's storm coverage continues, and President Trump's State of the Union on February 24 may influence state fiscal debates.
