Gov. Andrew Cuomo delivers State of The State address January 5

PEF leaders will be listening carefully as Gov. Andrew Cuomo delivers his State of The State Address Wednesday, January 5 at the Empire State Plaza Convention Center in Albany at 1 p.m. Cuomo is breaking tradition by delivering his address at the convention center instead of in the state Assembly chamber. Cuomo said the change is important because he wants to deliver a “message to the people.”

Cuomo is expected to outline his plan for a stronger New York including the need to confront the current fiscal crisis and economic challenges.

PEF will post a response on its website after reviewing the State of The State Address and how the union will proceed to protect state jobs and services.
