Hochul managing the rare achievement of making literally every single person in New York angry for some reason or another
there's still time to re-reverse! then you just look like a waffling, incompetent moron instead of a waffling, incompetent moron who is also a sellout
NYC's Independent Budget Office is steamed: "The sudden loss of this anticipated revenue coupled with the lack of any long-term financial alternative to support crucial improvements for tracks, signals, and cars, will complicate the long-term competitiveness of NYC" www.ibo.nyc.ny.us/pressrelease...

Incredibly, this person managed to unite all five borroughs into a singular, immense movement, devoted to one thing. Telling them they're a fucking prick.
She is simply following the time-honored tradition of NY officials pandering to Wall Street and law enforcement despite the contrary desires of the overwhelming majority of constituents.
Heck, with the quick failure of the payroll tax and talk about raiding the general fund she’s managed to make it an issue upstate!
And there’s one thing upstate is united on: bailouts should be downstate->upstate not the other way around (I only kind of kid).
Yes, at this point, it's impossible for Hochul to score any points politically. So she might as well reverse herself and at least adopt the right policy.
