All SUNY Students Will Be Required to Have a COVID Vaccine
A new announcement has been made regarding SUNY and CUNY students.
On Monday, May 10, 2021, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo made a major announcement regarding colleges in the state.

Governor Cuomo also added that he encourages all private colleges and universities to require COVID-19 vaccinations as well. One Hudson Valley college already announced plans to do just that.

I was happy to see the Detroit Free Press at least report that Whitmer is refusing to give any details about her trip including who paid for the private Gulfstream G-280 twin jet she took to go on her vacation in Florida.
What details is Whitmer refusing to give:
What dates did she vacation in Florida?
Where exactly did she go?
How did she actually get there?
Who paid for her travel i.e. private Gulfstream G-280 twin jet?
