While New York state is currently dominated politically by Democrats, the past few elections have chipped away at the notion of Democratic invincibility – a move to the right that could be seen and heard Tuesday in Gov. Kathy Hochul’s State of the State address. 

She’s proposing to cut taxes, support first responders, “clarify” discovery and expand Kendra’s Law – all ideas that would feel at home in a speech delivered by a Republican governor.

The question is, how do Republicans, who are eyeing the governor’s mansion, feel about Tuesday's address? 

For answers, Capital Tonight was joined by the state Assembly Assistant Minority Leader Pro Tempore Mary Beth Walsh, who represents the 112th Assembly District, which includes parts of Saratoga, Schenectady and Fulton counties. She spoke with Capital Tonight host Susan Arbetter.
