Kathy Hochul

So I must surrender my rights.

And we're not doing that.

This is the nerve that I said has been touched.

You cannot do that in this country.

And we have to stand up and say no more.

No, I'm looking forward to continuing to partner with the mayor.

We have a very strong relationship.

My job as governor, I also represent 8.5 million New York City residents.

So I've got to focus on their challenges as well.

So I'll work with the mayor.

I've been talking about childcare for a very long time as someone, as a young mother working as an attorney for Senator Moynihan a long time ago, I had to leave my job because I couldn't find childcare for my babies.

And so this is personal to me as something

I feel bad it's like one generation later, they still have not figured this out when those babies are not having their own kids, my grandkids, and they can't find affordable childcare either and are struggling.

So I could not wait to dive into this issue with the mayor.

We're putting a lot of state dollars behind it, but the only reason people need childcare is to go to their jobs.

So I'm encouraging the business community to support this whole effort as well.

because it's in their interest to have less turnover and be able to attract more moms to be able to come to work and young dads who want to be able to, you know, see the children during the daytime if they do an on-site facility.

So this is something that we're going to keep leaning into and not look back from.

So stay tuned.

All right.
