He spoke to me about wanting to make sure that the transition to continuity is important." "However, I'm looking forward to a smooth transition, which (Cuomo) promised. "It's not what I asked for," Hochul said of the two-week hiatus. Kirsten Gillibrand, along with other regional governors. Still, Hochul said she has begun the work of putting together a senior staff and had been in contact with top New York officials, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. She also appeared to express frustration with Cuomo's decision to delay his departure for two weeks from Tuesday. On the transition: Hochul is in her seventh year as Cuomo's deputy, but the two were not reputed to have a close relationship - a point she stressed repeatedly when taking questions from reporters in Albany."My administration will be fully transparent when I'm governor," she said. The incoming governor also promised she would "fight like hell" for all New Yorkers and took stock of the many challenges facing the Empire State today, noting that the fight against Covid-19, begun by outgoing Cuomo, is far from finished. Asked about another scandal that looms over Cuomo, surrounding the underreporting of Covid-19 deaths in nursing homes during the early stages of the pandemic, Hochul hinted that she would be open to releasing more state data. "I'm going to stand right here at the end of my term, whenever it ends, no one will ever describe my administration as a toxic work environment," Hochul said, while also pledging to purge anyone "who is named as doing anything unethical in the report" from her administration. On her incoming administration's priorities: Hochul insisted that she had not been previously aware of the allegations in state Attorney General Letitia James's damning investigation and vowed to clean house in the executive chamber.

The Governor welcomes the opportunity to resolve this matter and to initiate discussions with the Hungarian government without delay. The Government of Hungary has stated publicly that it can only discuss the future of CEU in Hungary with relevant US authorities, which in this case is the State of New York. This legislation directly contradicts the 2004 Joint Declaration with the State of New York, which supported CEU’s goal of achieving Hungarian accreditation while maintaining its status as an accredited American institution. The Government of Hungary has recently adopted legislation that would force the closure of CEU. Cuomo today announced his readiness to enter into discussions with the Hungarian Government to continue the New York State-Government of Hungary relationship that enables the Central European University to operate in Budapest.
