Watching Gov. Hochul stumble from one blunder to another, I’m reminded of Casey Stengel’s exasperated question about the hapless 1962 Mets: “Can’t anybody here play this game?”
More than three years after she took office, accidental governor Kathy Hochul is still afraid to take off the training wheels, writes Post columnist Michael Goodwin.stumble from one blunder to another, I’m reminded of Casey Stengel’s exasperated question about the hapless 1962 Mets: “Can’t anybody here play this game?” More than three years after she took office, the accidental governor is still afraid to take off the training wheels.
A wiser politician would have gotten the point that she’s offsides with many voters, which was confirmed when Trump won the presidency with an Electoral College landslide and got a startling 44% of the turnout in deep blue New York. held a nasty press conference where they took turns warning Trump they would come after him with hammer and tong if he screwed with their priorities.
Perhaps realizing she had gone too far, the next day Hochul spoke out of the other side of her mouth by saying she had a “productive” phone call with Trump and pledged to work with him on big capital projects. In case Hochul missed the other part of the election, Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries are now the minority leaders of their chambers.
Hochul denies any pressure, but there is no denying that the timing conveniently took the issue off the table before voters weighed in.She is said to be considering a $9 tax for cars instead of the planned $15, but it’s the ultimate cynical ploy at any price, one exacerbated by her daffy attempt to circumvent Trump. On some bus routes, as many as 50% of passengers ride for free, yet Hochul wants to pour more money into the leaking bucket and let the MTA leadership off the hook.
