ALBANY, NY (607NewsNow) — Flags in New York have been lowered.
Gov. Kathy Hochul state flags will remain at half-staff in honor of former President Jimmy Carter until sunset on January 28th.
“President Jimmy Carter embodied decency and integrity throughout his life of public service,” Hochul said. “I’ll never forget as a teenager meeting him in Buffalo. He was an inspiration to me and so many Americans. Our hearts are with the Carter family during this difficult time.”
Carter, who was America’s 39th President, died Sunday at 100. President Joe Biden declared Thursday, January 9 a National Day of Mourning.
