A Cayuga County winery owner is calling on New York officials to allow wine sales in grocery stores. He believes it could help his business by creating a new avenue for customers to purchase locally produced wines, ultimately boosting the region’s wine industry.

In a bold financial move, Governor Kathy Hochul announced that New York State will use its reserves to pay off $6.2 billion in unemployment insurance debt. Referring to the action as “my counter to the tariffs,” Hochul aims to alleviate the burden on businesses and stimulate the economy.
