Transfer of Power

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has submitted his resignation. What comes next? Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Buffalo Democrat, will become the first female governor in New York's history. But she inherits a state still reeling from the scandal surrounding her predecessor, and facing rising delta variant positivity. On this episode of "The Eagle," Times Union Editor-in-Chief Casey Seiler and Managing Editor Brendan Lyons weigh in on what New Yorkers can expect to happen in the next few weeks, as the transition takes place. Also on this episode, we'll take a look back in time at the heyday of The Knickerbocker News, the Times Union's historic sister paper. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
