Millions of New Yorkers are on track to receive rebate checks in the fall. Households reporting up to $300,000 of income are eligible for a check of up to $200.<\/p>\n
The whole plan costs $1 billion and was touted by Gov. Kathy Hochul as an affordability measure.<\/p>\n
A person familiar with the state\u2019s plans said the checks will go out in September and October, just weeks before the Nov. 3 election. Some Republicans call that timing more than a coincidence.<\/p>\n
Also: Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James revealed more about a new law that will restrict what children can do on social media platforms. It\u2019s going to mean that all users will need to take steps to prove their age.<\/p>\n
And Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, Hochul\u2019s Republican challenger, is facing some pushback after saying that Democrats \u201cwill try to steal the election.\u201d<\/p>\n
The New York Public News Network\u2019s Jimmy Vielkind and Samuel King discuss those developments at the Capitol.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Millions of New Yorkers are on track to receive rebate checks in the fall.
