On this week's edition of New York NOW:

  • Gov. Kathy Hochul lifts New York's mask mandate, but opponents say face coverings should come off in schools as well.
  • Republicans want the Hochul administration to investigate the previous Cuomo administration's handling of the pandemic, particularly in nursing homes. But the administration says it won't. Darrell Camp reports.
  • How can New York state transform its small- and mid-sized cities, particularly in upstate New York? Sen. Jeremy Cooney, chair of the Cities 2 Committee, and Justin Wilcox from Upstate United join us with their perspectives.
  • New York City Mayor Eric Adams testifies before the state Legislature for the first time since taking office. Bernadette Hogan from the New York Post joins us with a recap.
