As Hochul Pushes Cuomo Agenda, Williams Takes on Both in Primary Challenge Rachel Silberstein Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul (photo: The Governor's Office) “That’s what we do in New York -- that’s what we need in our nation!” declared Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul from a church lectern Sunday, sounding not unlike her boss, Governor Andrew Cuomo. Hochul, whose remarks were at times drowned out by applause, was highlighting Cuomo’s progressive accomplishments -- paid family leave, equal pay provisions, and criminal justice reform -- before a congregation of elected officials, aides, and others attending the New York State Association of Black and Puerto Rican Legislators’ annual gathering in Albany. And, as she has done across the state in recent weeks, Hochul outlined signature planks of Cuomo’s 2018 agenda, like bail and speedy trial reforms. At Wilborn Temple First Church, Hochul agily made scriptural references, and like Cuomo during his 2018 State of the State address , invoked the heartbreaking story of 1 of 8 3/5/2018, 3:20 PM As Hochul Pushes Cuomo Agenda, Williams Takes on Both in Primary ... http://www.gothamgazette.com/state/7493-as-hochul-pushes-cuomo-age...

    -t&r ; Ho us ing Sho rtage Cited as Ca us ing Pro b Ie mns BuByNancy A. DiFranco - (The identities of most of the people in this articlehave I been left out to awid causing them harm, since they may be in violation of university policies.) "I live out of my suitcase. People call me the shop- ping bag lady," said Rhonda. Rhonda is one of many people still awaiting on- campus housing. She said she usually crashes in any one of five different suites. "It's only recently I got used to sleeping in here. I am still not getting a lot of sleep," said Wallace, a first year foreign graduate student who slept on his office floor for two weeks until a friend recently lent him a cot. He too, is awaiting a vacant space. Although Bauman said he is unaware of a problem existing with students sleeping around the campus, Rhonda said that she is not alone. "I thought I was unusual but I talked to a lot of people and they know several people in the same situation," she said. "I feel really awful about cluttering up people's suites. I feel like I am imposing." Bauman said he has no idea how many students are sleeping on campus illegally. "It's not so much a concern to persue illegal residents as much as it is to assign housing as soon as vacancies arise, so that we are taking care of those people that really need space," he said. Ricky sleeps on a very worn castro convertable couch in his friend's suite.
