New York Governor Kathy Hochul will partner with NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani to unveil a plan for universal child care for families across the Empire State, beginning with high-need areas in the city and gradually expanding statewide over the next several years, the New York Times reports.
“Since taking office, I’ve put families front and center, fighting to make our state more affordable and laying the groundwork to deliver universal child care,” Hochul said in a statement.
