Cuomo sets out sweeping plan in State of State, expects feds to pay for it | The Daily Gazette SECTIONS GOVERNOR'S OFFICE Shares0 ALBANY — With enormous health and financial crises facing the state, Gov. Cuomo dedicated his State of the State Address on Monday to beating COVID and rebuilding New York. The dual crises have bedeviled the state for nearly a year, and Cuomo’s speech Monday traveled some familiar ground. New, however, was his sweeping plan for addressing the crises. The price of the massive package — green energy, new manufacturing, social justice, affordable broadband for all, subsidized healthcare, assistance for immigrants — was unspecified but would doubtless run into the billions of dollars, and the state already is $15 billion short of its expenses without adding any new spending.
