People should know Hochul is cancelling cap & invest, which is the centerpiece of NY state’s climate plan, created by her appointees.
Without it, it’s impossible for NY to hit pollution reductions.
Hochul’s move is similar to cancelling congestion pricing. Devastating. It must be reversed.

We favor taxing the rich. Combined with regs, that would be much better than cap and invest.
However, she said she’d do cap and invest. Now says it’s a “delay”.
She’s deferring to corporate interests and the Fox News crowd.
Without an immediate alternative - and she doesn’t have any - it means the state fails on climate.
✅ Saves working people money
✅ create good, union jobs
✅ cuts pollution
Not a pretty please and lobbying. A multiracial pressure campaign.
We need the legislature to step up as Hochul fails NYers and the world.
and it is well known that existing cap and trade is a fake system that companies game
that money has to come from somewhere
also 1/3 of the revenue raised gets sent to ordinary NYers, and for most, they’d get more back than cap and invest costs them
slogans are great, but they don't mean much untill you see actual legislative text
I get that people don’t know about it and that’s on both NYS and the shrinking state press corps
Keeping track of the good & bad in state climate policy is more than a full-time job. And it’s hard to get the full picture because each advocacy group focuses on their own niche.
In terms of congestion pricing money, it’s locked in to support bond issues for MTA Capital needs. That’s great!
And she went kicking and screaming. 🙄
