Gov. Kathy Hochul refused to provide state funding to keep the Statue of Liberty open amid the partial government shutdown.
‘I lift my lamp beside the golden door,’ no more!
Gov. Kathy Hochul is refusing to come to the rescue and provide state funding to keep the Statue of Liberty open if it closes due to the partial government shutdown that commenced Wednesday.
Hochul blamed Republicans in Congress for a potential closure to the national monument, even though all but three Senate Democrats sunk a short-term funding bill Tuesday night that would have kept the government funded at current levels until Nov.
