As a rep. of one of the plaintiffs,
@citizenactionny, and an attorney, I can say that the Governor’s claim is flat out false. The lower court’s decision in our favor is stayed bc of the state’s appeal. Nothing requires the Gov & the legis to modify the climate law this session.
Gov. Hochul today directly blamed climate activists and their lawsuit over cap-and-invest for her current push to roll back the CLCPA.
"We are forced to because of advocates who took us to court... Now I have no alternative but to change the law or be in violation of the law"
