Governor Kathy Hochul wants more workers in high-demand fields like nursing, teaching, technology and engineering.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has unveiled her plan to make community college free for adult learners. Kournikova, who stays mostly out of the spotlight, has been with singer Enrique Iglesias since 2001. Phyllis Fong, a 22-year veteran of the Agriculture Department, had told colleagues that she intended to stay after the White House fired her Friday.

Governor Kathy Hochul announced a plan to waive tuition and fees for adult students in needed fields of study at SUNY and CUNY community colleges.
