Gov. Kathy Hochul idle on 420 bills ahead of midterm election as race with Rep. Lee Zeldin tightens: report
Fox News
Gov. Kathy Hochul is sitting on over 400 bills that have cleared the state's legislative Assembly to avoid frustrating voters ahead of a crucial race with Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin.
"The governor has made a strategic decision not to sign or call up lots and lots of bills until after the election," John Kaehny, director of the watchdog group Reinvent Albany, told the publication. "It’s enormously frustrating."
According to the report, Hochul’s office has refused to act on bills involving medical fields, banking, real estate and cryptocurrency mining. Some companies in these fields have a vested interest in her campaign, the New York Post reported.
