1. Gov. Kathy Hochul, in her "State of the State Address," hopes to rebuild New York and kickstart the economy, transforming downtowns, creating new jobs, and training a workforce ready to fill them with a rebooted workforce development office tied to educational facilities. And for bar owners and restaurants, the to-go drinks will once again be green-lighted. (Southampton Patch)
