With an eye on her sagging poll numbers and New Yorkers’ anxieties about the economy and crime, Gov. Kathy Hochul is poised to deliver her 2025 State of the State address on Tuesday.

Hochul has spent the last several weeks outlining her goals, and chief among them is how she’ll solve a mental health crisis on the subway system and make the state more affordable for residents.

Spending time with students at the Hudson Valley Community College upstate in Troy on the eve of her 2025 State of the State address, Hochul highlighted the work she’s done so far.

“Mental health had become a real issue for teenagers and I’m a mom and I wanted to help. So I said we should do much more,” she explained to the student audience.

Topping her agenda: helping those with mental illness get proper care. It requires a change to current law allowing health and law enforcement professionals to decide whether or not a person needs medical care against their will.

Mayor Eric Adams backs her plan.

“I’m hoping to hear something on involuntary removal [it’s] important,” he said Monday at City Hall.

But legislative leaders want to hear more.

“We want a safe New York as well. I am interested in and my conference is interested in what might be proposed, so that we can figure a way forward that respects people’s rights, but also respects the safety of New Yorkers as well,” said state Sen. Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins on Monday at a separate press conference in the State Capitol Building.

Hochul, and other Democrats, are trying to convince New Yorkers that they understand financial hardship.

Hudson Valley Democrat James Skoufis says some have lost the plot.

“Some Democrats literally, not figuratively popping champagne lighting cigars when the cameras turn on for congestion pricing on Jan. 5 screams elitism! And we as Democrats need to get out of our ivory tour and get back to the factory floors,” he told NY1.

Although the governor backs a proposal to give out checks to working families and is poised to unveil a middle class tax cut, according to sources, the MTA is fishing for billions of dollars to help fund future transit projects and Democratic leaders say tax hikes are definitely on the board.

“It will have to [be]. Everything will have to be on the table,” Stewart-Cousins said.

But Skoufis said some tax talk is dead on arrival.

“I am going to be carte blanche opposed to any talk about increasing taxes, new fees that hit the middle class, the working class, basically, anyone that’s not a millionaire or doing even better,” he said.

Hochul’s address is slated for midday on Tuesday at the Hart Theater in a performance space known as the Egg — a speech that is traditionally given in the state Assembly chambers.
