This is a classic thing where there's no one, you know, part of government that's got the whole answer to this.

The meeting is, let's sit down and resolve it. I can't believe Donald Trump, the great dealmaker of dealmakers, who – at least how he presents himself – sitting down with us, we couldn't reach an agreement in an hour.

The gap is closing fast — we can feel it on the ground everywhere from the Bronx to Staten Island. At this rate, we win the race. Keep going strong.

We plan to review all our options, including working with the Legislature to modify the CLCPA, in order to protect New Yorkers from higher costs.

My job is to ensure we have enough power to keep the lights on, keep rates affordable and attract major economic development projects.

You deserve a governor who will work with Democrats and Republicans to grow our economy and not stand by while Virginia’s workforce is under attack.
