Gov. Kathy Hochul visited Long Island on Tuesday, Dec. 12 to announce $479 million in grants for critical water infrastructure projects, including the first funding awarded through last year's $4.2 billion Environmental Bond Act.

Governor Hochul delivered her budget plan for New York state today. Long Island officials share their vision for economic development. FEMA will help crews clean up damage from a Connecticut dam break after wintery weather last week. And newly obtained documents reveal the extent of influence Kosta Diamantis had on Connecticut school construction projects.
