Hochul’s hubby collects nearly $200K from gaming giant that cashed in on $18M tax break

Gov. Kathy Hochul’s husband Bill has been collecting scratch from the same hospitality and gambling giant showering state Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie with cushy Boston Celtics tickets, The Post has learned. Records show Bill Hochul has received nearly $200,000 in “deferred compensation” from his former employer, Delaware North, even though he claimed to have cut ties from the company — which just reaped an $18 million tax break from the state . Hochul, after taking office in 2021, recused herself from all official state government actions involving Delaware North, since her hubby worked as the gaming giant’s top lawyer and senior vice president at the time. First Gentleman Bill Hochul has received nearly $200,000 in “deferred compensation” from his former employer, Delaware North, records show. Stephen Yang for NY Post But in 2023, Hochul issued a memo lifting her recusal, claiming there wasn’t a conflict of interest anymore since her husband was leaving the gambling and hospitality powerhouse — and would “have no financial connection to Delaware North following his departure.” The memo said Bill Hochul “will not receive payment of any kind from Delaware North or its subsidiary entities” or “any other thing of value.” Good-government watchdogs are now

25 Famous Hardware Stores, Lumberyards, and Home Improvement Centers in Upstate New York

Photo by Tyler A. McNeil, via Wikimedia Commons, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. There was a time when a home improvement project in Upstate New York began with a trip to a familiar hardware store, lumberyard, or neighborhood home center. Maybe it was a leaky pipe in a Rochester two-family house, a porch that needed new boards in the Southern Tier, or another winter spent trying to keep the snowblower working in Western New York. Before the largest warehouse chains dominated so many commercial strips, local owners, family businesses, cooperatives, and regional chains supplied the parts and advice that kept homes running.
