Gov Hochul Gets a F on Climate Report Card

Climate Can’t Wait, a statewide coalition of over 55 environmental, climate, and community groups, released its second climate report card for Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY). The final grade was an F based on her track record of backsliding on implementation of critical climate legislation and failing to take actions to achieve the mandates of New York State’s 2019 Climate Law (the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act or CLCPA). An Albany Supreme Court decision last October, Citizen Action of New York vs. DEC, found that the Hochul administration’s failure to issue greenhouse gas reduction regulations as required by the Climate Law was illegal. Bob Cohen reviews the report card with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
