She’s selling a bill of goods, in sort of the same way Trump did last week, and it really is kind of despicable, but voters are idiots, and they may buy in to it, sadly. Gov. Kathy Hochul crowed Tuesday that 2.5 million more New Yorkers are eligible for up to $500 a year in utility bill discounts – a savings her gubernatorial rival Bruce Blakeman waved off as “peanuts.”
Hochul and Blakeman squared off over the Empire State’s sky-high gas and electricity costs in dueling news conferences, with the Democratic governor encouraging households to sign up for the state’s expanded Energy Affordability Program.
“Today, half of all households in the state of New York are eligible for extra help with their energy bills,” she said at a Lower East Side community center.
It's other people's money in every sense of the term. Why are people gullible enough to think that anything the Government hands out is somehow 'free'?
Don't get me wrong, though. I think what Trump said last week was an embarassment - to me and to him. Keep throwing money at voters.
It seems to work, sadly...
Why don't they ever just reduce the cost and make it affordable? What and reduce the boards bonuses? Years ago utilities weren't trying to get rich off peoples backs.
