Governor Kathy Hochul racked up a boatload of private plane miles while at the same time issuing dictates to average New Yorkers that they should not, and even cannot, use fossil fuels themselves. That is according to independent research from business owner Sam E. Antar, Former "Crazy Eddie" CFO.
His Hochul private plane usage data was confirmed by the Governor's Office.
Whether it be your gas fireplace, gas hot water tank, gas furnace, or gas stove, Governor Hochul has warred against affordable and reliable gas appliances used by regular New Yorkers.
She, and the Democrat-led legislature, also banned any new gas-powered vehicles by 2035. The latest war on safety, reliability, choice, and our pocketbooks is the New York Climate Change Superfund Act.
Governor Hochul recently announced an extension of New York’s Green New Deal by unveiling what she calls the Climate Change Superfund. Hochul said on X, “I’m fighting to protect New Yorkers who have faced billions of dollars in costs due to extreme weather. It’s time for large polluters to pay their fair share.”
The Climate Change Superfund will tax fossil fuel companies $75 billion over 25 years to fund the MTA. Those costs will be passed on to already cash-strapped ratepayers across the state.
As for business owner Antar, the turned forensic accountant, said, “NY Governor Kathy Hochul wants to save us from extreme weather and polluters one private jet ride at a time.”
“Just as she just cranked up penalties on fuel producers which will make the cost of the average jet fuel skyrocket, which means her bills for private jets increase and who pays for that? US!” said X user RushwasRight.
Governor Hochul’s campaign alone has spent over $415,000 on private planes. The New York Post reported that they believe an additional $75,000 was spent by the New York State Democrat Committee to fly Governor Hochul across the Empire State.
She also jets around the state in plane owned by the New York State Police underwritten by taxpayers.
Lawsuits have already been filed against a similar Climate Change Superfund in Vermont and New York will no doubt be next.
