New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has postponed his state-of-the-state address for two weeks until January 21 at the Empire State Convention Center in Albany.
The annual address describing initiatives for the coming year was scheduled for Wednesday. At his inaugural address Thursday, the governor said his agenda includes restoring public trust in the criminal justice system, creating a better education system and providing economic opportunity for everyone.
Calling hours for Cuomo's father, former Gov. Mario Cuomo, are scheduled Monday with private funeral services Tuesday in Manhattan.
The 2015 sessions of the state Senate and Assembly will convene Wednesday as required by the state constitution.
