Governor Kathy Hochul is facing increasing criticism during her fourth year in office as New Yorkers perceive a series of failures and missteps in her leadership. Key issues include her inconsistency in pursuing safer streets and a more affordable New York, despite rising taxes and spending. Critics argue that her lack of assertiveness in Albany and visibility in New York City raises questions about her effectiveness and capability in governance. Moreover, her approach to congestion pricing appears to be the culmination of her struggles to negotiate effectively with significant political figures such as President Trump.
"The most fundamental one is that her policies are at odds with her stated goals. She says she wants safer streets and subways, but won't fight the Legislature for big changes in the criminal justice system."
"She says she wants to make New York more affordable, but keeps raising taxes and spending, which are driving the cost of living higher and higher."
