'We Need More Time' for Costly Climate Change Law That's Raising Utility Rates, Says NY Gov. Hochul
https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/03/21/we-need-more-time-says-gov-hochul-who-just-realized-facts-are-a-thing-n2200496Facts are a harsh mistress. And nobody seems more incapable of grasping facts than Democrats in general, and New York's Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul in particular. In her latest embarrassing slip-up, the climate law she supported, and the Empire States ever-more-onerous taxes are driving all the wealthy people, the people who start and run businesses and provide jobs, out of the state. Now, because of the green policies, utility rates are climbing, meaning that a big chunk of the rest of the residents of New York are looking to the exits as well.
Now Governor Hochul wants to delay full implementation of the lunatic climate laws, hoping that someone will decide to stay put - or that some who have already fled to Florida, Texas or Tennessee might come back. Yeah, good luck with that. As our sister site Hot Air wrote earlier on Saturday:
What was Governor Kathy Hochul expecting with this green scam?
