Vetted coverage of Governor Hochul's administration, grouped by day. Every item names its publication and carries a source-credibility tier — Tier 1 primary/wire, Tier 2 established outlet, Tier 3 secondary. No spin; each story links to its original source.
A day after Hochul's EO 62 moratorium on hyperscale data centers, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie said the order does not signal a veto of the Responsible Data Center Development Act, which covers projects above 20 MW (vs. the EO's 50 MW) and adds rate classes and public hearings. Hochul has until year-end to sign, veto, or seek amendments.
EO 61 directs state agencies to review thousands of regulations, fees, and reporting requirements (using AI plus staff) to cut outdated rules; the administration projects tens of millions in savings and 1M+ hours saved annually.
Hochul directed 17 state landmarks illuminated for the July 4 250th anniversary and issued an Independence Day proclamation.
Trump denied NY's request for a major disaster declaration tied to the Feb. 22-23 blizzard; Hochul said the state will appeal and accused the president of turning his back on his home state.
