What happened
Kathy Hochul secured state incentives for Micron's semiconductor project. Separately, the Syracuse Post-Standard editorial board endorsed Hochul for reelection, citing her economic record and affordability policies in Central New York. The endorsement contrasted Hochul's record, which includes policies returning roughly $10 billion to New Yorkers, with proposals put forth by Bruce Blakeman.
