New York Secretary of State Kathy Hochul's replacement, Secretary Robert Duffy, is under fire for withholding millions of dollars in funding from the state's coffers. According to a recent report, Duffy has been holding back the funds due to a dispute with the state over the revocation of business licenses issued to companies operating without proper authorization. The move has sparked outrage among lawmakers and critics who argue that the withheld funds could be better spent on crucial state programs and services. As the state grapples with a growing budget deficit, the controversy surrounding Duffy's decision has raised questions about the priorities of the state's administration.
