Kathy Hochul: “We`re not in a good place. I`m going to be really honest with you. This is the winter surge we predicted.”

The terrorist attacks on September 11 forever reshaped our city and state, and every year on the anniversary New Yorkers feel the weight of unimaginable tragedy and honor the lives lost.

New York won’t be calling it that.

And to those suing us, those trying to block the implementation of this law who’ve tried before and failed, our law has already been upheld by the courts, but if you try me again, I say, bring it on.

Don’t undermine our public safety efforts. Don’t defund the police who thwart terror attacks. Don’t play political games with people’s lives.
