Trump taps out of his offshore wind permitting fight! Thx to @GovKathyHochul, @NewYorkStateAG, and the members of NY's congressional delegation who stood up against this ill-concieved order from the jump. Big win for our affordable clean energy future here in NY and beyond!
BREAKING The Trump administration is giving up one of its fights against offshore wind, filing to dismiss an appeal of a judge’s ruling against its permitting freeze. @emilypont has the story: heatmap.news/sparks/trump-of…

Today I met with the New York League of Conservation Voters @nylcv to talk about how inflation is impacting energy rates and how the Energy Bills Relief Act can bring needed assistance to NYers. This is a crucial step in bringing down costs and investing in our clean energy. I look forward to collaborating on this and will continue to support the critical efforts being done to care for our planet.

If lawmakers are serious about helping school districts succeed, the answer is continued funding and support, not delaying cleaner air for children. Read why Dr. Kate Watson supports electric school buses as an emergency medicine physician and parent: tinyurl.com/bdhda5hf

I just passed my bill with @BrianKavanaghNY to protect New York's drinking water by limiting dangerous PFAs chemicals in our water supply. This is how New York stands up to the Trump administration's dangerous rollbacks and puts our communities first.

✅ BILL PASSED! ✅ With the federal government trying to roll back limits on the levels of forever chemicals in our drinking water, this bill ensures that New Yorkers’ health is protected. Thank you @BrianKavanaghNY, @AMGraceLee and Senate & Assembly leadership in both parties!
