TRANSCRIPT:

HOCHUL: “— in my budget next month: That we’ll send you a check to buy your groceries for a month or whatever you want to spend it on. And if you’re an individual earning up to $150,000 a year, it’s $300. What does that look like? Alright, how about that? More individuals. (applause) Now, if you’re filing jointly and you have a family, you need a little more, right? Families are expensive. How about this? Five hundred dollars. Five hundred dollars for families earning less than $300,000 because I know life in New York City is expensive and your salaries may sound nice, but they don’t go very far.”
