Hochul wants to spend $41 million to repair eastern approach steps of Capitol
ALBANY — Gov. Kathy Hochul has proposed a $41 million expenditure to repair the hallowed grand staircase on the front of the state Capitol.

It's part of a broader proposal by Hochul to spend $242 million on infrastructure projects related to state government. State officials have budgeted on the assumption that the federal government's "Build Back Better Act" will not pass in Congress.
Signs posted on the barricaded steps state they are "closed due to structural instability."
