But Adams, a Democrat, has been critical of the bill since it passed, saying it would require the city to spend millions of dollars to expand classroom space and hire more teachers. He has pressed Hochul to reject the measure as it’s currently written.
“There are some loose ends, but philosophically it's something I'm supporting,” Hochul said of the bill. “I would say that, leave it to us in the next couple of days, and this will be resolved.” More than 1,000 bills cleared both houses of the state Legislature this year, including 453 that Hochul has not yet signed or vetoed.
