The murderer of a 16-year-old girl was released by NY’s Parole Board, and has now been charged with groping a woman. More proof that Kathy Hochul’s Parole Board should be torn down and completely overhauled. lohud.com/story/news/loc…
Hardworking New Yorkers are fed up with skyrocketing utility bills. No one should be punished for simply keeping the lights on. Utilities must be affordable for all residents. cnycentral.com/news/local/new…
There is no end to the lengths liberal politicians in New York will go to fight law enforcement officials from doing their jobs and keeping our communities safe. spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny…
New York’s growth and economic prosperity are powered by a reliable energy grid, but NY’s margins are thinning. Plans to develop a new nuclear energy plant are a strong start to the type of investment needed to build our energy infrastructure. recordonline.com/story/opinion/…
As the realization sets in, NY cannot afford to delay taking the decisive action needed to halt the mandates associated with the CLCPA @NYS_AM has loudly drawn attention to these obvious affordability & reliability issues in our fight to secure the state’s energy infrastructure
"The Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA), New York’s sweeping 2019 law requiring dramatic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, is no longer financially feasible or practically achievable, and state leaders know it..." You can read Justin Wilcox's opinion…
Our conference’s “A Blueprint for Childcare (ABC)” plan would offer real solutions to help the childcare crisis across New York & support working families. Young families deserve affordable, accessible childcare. nystateofpolitics.com/state-of-polit…
NY’s energy plan is failing — and New Yorkers are paying the price. Utility bills keep climbing in upstate communities while Democrats put costly climate goals ahead of affordability. Ratepayers deserve real solutions, not higher costs.


Because rigging the maps twice since the last census still isn't enough for Albany Democrats. One-Party Rule is desperate to protect their power. Voters should choose their representatives - not the other way around. gothamist.com/news/gov-hochu…
New York’s sanctuary laws aren’t protecting anyone—they’re putting everyone at risk. This week’s shooting of an off-duty CBP officer is another grim reminder. Gov. Hochul & NY Democrats are shielding criminals. nypost.com/2025/07/23/opi…
Endless, undisciplined spending for the good part of the last decade by New York Democrats is the main reason for the state’s budget gap. Spending has increased $77 billion in the last five years alone nypost.com/2025/07/22/opi…
It’s been crystal clear since the CLCPA was signed into law that it was simply impossible to meet the ridiculous mandates championed by climate activists. Common sense must return to conversation as we develop a more realistic and balanced energy plan timesunion.com/capitol/articl…
The HALT Act has made NY’s correctional facilities less safe and compromised the ability of corrections officers to do their jobs. Undermining disciplinary measures led to a dramatic spike in violence between inmates and on staff. news10.com/news/doccs-ign…
Only in NY: In one of the country’s least-affordable states, the Hochul administration is implementing a cost-saving measure for prisoners. nystateofpolitics.com/state-of-polit…
From business leaders to residents in every corner of the state, the message is the same – reliable and affordable energy is necessary to keep the lights on and move New York forward. empirereportnewyork.com/reliable-power…
Known criminals, repeat offenders – the headlines are filled with all too familiar phrases in this crime-ridden state The same dangerous and violent individuals are allowed to run amok in the streets due to the weakening of NY’s criminal justice system nypost.com/2025/07/21/us-…
The One Big Beautiful Bill exposed New York’s Medicaid problem. At a total cost of $125.8 billion, it’s the most expensive in the U.S. on a per-capita basis. Democrats increased the state share of the program by 16% just two months ago. oswegocountytoday.com/politics/barcl…
Despite multiple arrests & a deportation order, an illegal migrant used NY’s sanctuary laws to evade any consequences. In his latest criminal escapade, a U.S. Customs & Border Protection officer was shot in the face. It is indefensible. nypost.com/2025/07/20/us-…
Opponents of H.R. 1 selectively ignore the real benefits it offers New Yorkers. NY faces unchecked fraud & waste, while reckless budget & spending practices desperately need an overhaul.



The transition of the state’s homecare assistance program to PPL has been plagued with problems from the onset High-profile fraud and federal investigations raise even larger questions about the situation nypost.com/2025/07/15/us-…
It’s time for New York to start listening to energy experts, not climate activists, before the grid collapses, because the CLCPA has halted common sense The @NYS_AM has joined a growing chorus of voices across the state seeking a reversal in the misguided mandates
NY blocked plans to upgrade power plants that burn natural gas. Was that a mistake? syracuse.com/news/2025/07/n…
