On this St. Patrick’s Day, may your pockets be heavy and your hearts be light as we march our way to affordability! @NYS_Secretary @GovKathyHochul

We’re bringing the NYS budget directly to the people so they can ask questions and understand how we are working on making NY a more affordable place to live, work and play. Thanks @CBS6Albany for covering! #Affordability #Education #OurFuture @NYS_Secretary @GovKathyHochul

Another great setting to deliver @GovKathyHochul budget proposal to the people of Orange County. As a history buff, I appreciated being surrounded by the rich legacy of harness racing. @harnessmuseum @NYSDOS

It’s a marathon not a sprint as we take our Budget Road Show to the @harnessmuseum to talk to business and community leaders in Goshen. @GovKathyHochul @NYS_Secretary

This week, we welcomed the Capital Region Economic Development Council, including @NYS_Secretary. We highlighted our new Center for Academic Innovation and community partnerships preparing the region’s future healthcare workforce. @capregchamber @RenscoChamber @EmpireStateDev

Great backdrop at @mariacollege as we bring @GovKathyHochul message straight to the people in the Capital Region about how the budget can impact them. #transparency @EmpireStateDev

Just leaving an event in the Southern Tier where we talked about protecting New Yorkers… and when we say New Yorkers— we also mean our furry friends we find wandering a busy street! 🐾 Comms team: We do it all! #HowToSaveALife

1 word, 3x @GovKathyHochul

Where in the world is @NYS_Secretary today? Stay tuned!

Congratulations to Jamestown, NY— @USATODAY just named the city’s National Comedy Center the Best Pop Culture Museum in the Country!  Just another example of Jamestown’s downtown renaissance, which was supported by the DOS Downtown Revitalization Initiative.

Big wins for the North Country! @GovKathyHochul announced $10M for the City of Ogdensburg and $4.5M each for Town of Moriah and Village of Heuvelton to revitalize downtowns. Congratulations and look forward to seeing your progress!

@NYS_Secretary believes in connecting with staff at every level of the agency-- because strong leadership is about valuing every voice. Thank you and the leadership team for your unwavering support as we work every day to make the lives of New Yorkers better.

With major flight delays over the weekend, @NYSConsumer urges NY’ers to stay on the lookout for travel scams as you plan your spring & summer travels. @recordonline Read more tips here: pressreader.com/usa/times-hera…
