In today’s CapCon, Gov. Kathy Hochul has posted nine new months of her detailed past schedules. Here are some of the big names she met with, including tech executives, federal officials and energy industry leaders.
Then, federal prosecutors have arrested a woman they say was planning a terror plot on the state Capitol in Albany. Here are the details.
Later, the state inspector general’s office is out with a new report on complaints made about gaming and online sports betting leads the pack. Read more on that.
And, Hochul says she won’t seek changes to New York’s “Raise the Age” law but she didn’t exactly give it a ringing endorsement.
Plus, Hochul’s campaign is out with its first major ad campaign of the general election season, targeting her Republican opponent, who responded Thursday.
