Republican Bruce Blakeman who is running for governor of NY is accusing Governor Kathy Hochul of wasting taxpayer money on the Cornell University rape case investigation. Why isn't he criticizing the millions of taxpayer money Trump has spent on ads promoting himself? Illegal propaganda ads!

Good! “Newly released information continues to raise serious questions about the investigation conducted by the Cornell Police Department and the decision by the Tompkins County District Attorney not to prosecute an alleged sexual assault on Cornell University's campus," Hochul said in a statement.

Three days ago the U.S. Department of Education removed all Title IX protections for students facing discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. These protections had been added by the Biden administration in 2024.

This is a deceptive move by Blakeman which would not do anything to reduce utility rates or our utility bills. The fracking ban was enacted by the Legislature for solid reasons after long debate. We don't need to go backwards and we certainly don't need a Trump appeaser as Governor.

Blakeman's current TV ad is a slimy lie, claiming Hochul is mailing us higher utility bills. We know who to blame and it's not her. More importantly, we know that like his buddy Trump, #Blakeman projects his own flaws ontpo others. He votes for corporate interests, not ours. #WeCanrAffordBlakeman
