Making Gas Green Again
When NY passed its “nation-leading” climate law in 2019, it stuck New Yorkers on the road to 100% renewable energy. But Kathy Hochul knows that your skyrocketing utility bill creates valuable shareholder profits for members of the business community like Con Ed, Central Hudson, and National Grid. That’s why she’s fighting to change the law to keep fracked gas flowing into homes and communities across New York - and into the pockets of for-profit utilities.
Freedom For Fossil Fuels
While the state Legislature, Congressional Democrats like Jamaal Bowman and Dan Goldman, and 68% of New Yorkers are trying to force the Build Public Renewables Act down our throats, Kathy Hochul is standing up for everyone this “national model” bill would leave behind. The non-union solar and wind contractors who would be on the hook for thousands of “green union jobs”. The utilities like NYSEG and RG&E, who would have to compete with discount power for lower income customers. The vintage gas and oil plants in “marginalized communities'' it would replace. And the private renewable developers who told us loud and clear that if they can’t even get New York from 4% wind and solar to 5% in four years, how could they ever compete with public power?
Slow down socialism
Last month, socialists forced through a mandate to build “publicly owned, 100% renewable energy” in the New York state budget: the Build Public Renewables Act. Designed to enrich unions, close down vintage gas plants in “marginalized” communities, and cut the utility bills that fund CEO’s at National Grid and Central Hudson.
With far left fake news outlets like The Nation calling it “the biggest Green New Deal win in US history,” it’s clear the socialist left is seizing New York’s energy system. So Governor Hochul is fighting to at least slow them down, by appointing Justin Driscoll as the head of the New York Power Authority. As a longtime ally of corporations willing to stand up to unions and “environmental justice” activists, he can make the left’s life a little harder.
Keep Rikers Full
Everyone knows that knows that crime is worse in New York today than it’s ever been anywhere, at any point in human history. And everyone knows exactly what the dangerous people committing these crimes look like. Kathy spent weeks heroically filibustering the state budget to undo the “bail reforms” preventing judges from putting obvious thugs in jail before trial. Bleeding heart slogans like “innocent until proven guilty” won’t get criminals off the street—Kathy will.
Bail Out Billionaires
In 2021, far-left extremists like the Democratic Socialists of America forced through $4.3 billion in tax hikes exclusively targeting the millionaires and billionaires that lead New York. So whether it’s using public funding to support Jeff Bezos’ Amazon with discount electricity, or marking sure James Dolan’s Madison Square Garden stays tax free, Kathy is working hard to win back the wealthy’s wealth, and then some.
Raise the Rent
From the Wall Street’s industrial bustle to our Hamptons’ natural beauty, New York is nothing but the best. But restrictive tenant laws are preventing developers from building the kind of high-end living that attracts the best New Yorkers. Good thing Kathy is fighting to stop “Good Cause” and protect the Right to Evict, so that we can build a New York worthy of our stock exchange. Because in a state as valuable as New York is, the rent is too damn low.
