EXCERPT:
HOCHUL: "I'm not going to operate in a vacuum. We're going to have data and experts and people who know a lot about what the next trends are, but I am really looking forward to lifting them. I truly am. I know people are tired, but I also, I'll say one thing about the kids. My daughter had a meltdown over having to put sneakers on to go to kindergarten. She got used to wearing sneakers in school and they just, they, they adapt better than adults do. And I'm really proud of the parents who made sure that their kids understood this is for their safety and got it done. But we're looking forward to the day we can lift the school as well as the business requirements, we truly have. That'll be very fabulous day. That means that we've turned the corner in a way that we don't feel like we're going to be sliding backwards anytime soon.”
