Statement from Governor Kathy Hochul

“I am calling on New York Republicans in Congress to immediately take up the Senate’s bipartisan DHS funding bill to fully staff the TSA and end the chaos at our airports.

“New York is home to two of the busiest aviation hubs in the country. At a moment when air travel safety is front of mind, the last thing we should accept is disruption and dysfunction across our terminals and checkpoints. If they fail to act, passengers and TSA workers will know exactly who to blame.”
