NEWS: @GovKathyHochul right now is a no on @ZohranKMamdani’s free bus promise. “I cannot set forth a plan right now that takes money out of a system that relies on the fares of the busses and the subways.” She’s then pressed on “Tax the Rich” chants:

Says wants to phase in universal childcare but it’ll cost $15B statewide — so she’s looking to phase it in first with certain age groups & “geographically” underserved communities. Says all comes in face of fed cuts & existing costs ie Medicaid. Promises a resolution by Jan.

.@GovKathyHochul promises NYC is “still a capitalist city” and has spent time taking to biz community. Adds, @ZohranKMamdani needs to do more to convince Jewish community he’s on their side.
When asked if Mamdani will keep @NYPDPC, Hochul says she wouldn’t keep harping on it if she didn’t think the PC herself was interested in keeping the job.

The MTA costs $20 billion per year to run. There is simply no feasible way to run it without fare revenue

I think her stance is realistic…you can’t just turn on a ‘free bus’ policy overnight. As long as there’s measurable progress towards this end goal during Zohran’s term, I think New Yorkers will be happy.
My question is, how they gonna get that many volunteers to drive busses or watch kids all day?
MTA will not give up the cash cow & grift of anyone overlooking how they do business. Not a mayor or a governor.

Smart move by Hochul. can't keep throwing freebies at socialist dreams without real funding. Common sense over chaos, finally.
Most of NYPD will be Muslim in a year. The upper command structure within 6 months. And the current Mamdani love fest in NYC is going to end REAL QUICK.
But why is my barber standing behind her?
New York Governor rejects the incoming mayor’s free bus proposal, citing reliance on transit fares for funding, while facing chants for taxing the wealthy, highlighting the ongoing tension between bold affordability ideas and fiscal realities.
is there anything this bitch CAN do?

You’re telling me Mamdani campaigned on a promise he knew he couldn’t keep? Say it ain’t so.
Where’s Waldo and her Chief of Staff Whale? 🐳 This morning, residents of a NYCHA building in the Bronx are protesting in front of their crumbling building after a recent partial collapse left them without gas just since the month of October. Now we are 19 days before Thanksgiving. Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson & Pendejo Cortes The heifer and the whale are in Puerto Rico🇵🇷 🤯Greasy Gibson has completely abandoned these desperate Bronx residents. Meanwhile, her chunky Chief of Staff, Justin Pendejo Cortes, also in Puerto Rico stuffing his fat face with a ridiculous entourage of about 20 staff members, showcasing the outrageous waste of taxpayer dollars. This fiscal abuse goes unchecked because Brad Putz Lander is well, a Putz. Zero accountability. It’s even more disgusting that they’ve even brought another employee along on taxpayer dime to act as a chauffeur. Bronx residents crying for help and food. Crime rampaging and Vanessa and Justin Pendejo Cortes believe spending tens of thousands of our tax dollars on luxury hotels,dining and drinking is good government? This situation highlights the staggering incompetence and corruption of the current Black Democratic leadership in the Bronx. While residents are pleading for help for themselves and their families, Gibson is in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷more concerned with grandstanding and ingratiating herself with socialist antisemite Zohran Mandami after back stabbing Mayor Eric Adams. Gibson and her Executive Staff are pathetic examples of public servants. All disgraceful. Recall laws are urgently needed to hold these clowns accountable!

No shit. Public transportation has significant CapEx and OpEx expense. If you believed this was possible without stealing the money from somewhere, you're a mouth breathing moron.

Even she has a better understanding of economics than Mamdani. He quite literally thinks that he can just take over private properties like Trump Tower.
Strange that she didn't say any of this before the election. Very strange.

if she goes full commie too im staying home next year
Who is that grinning fool standing next to her?
