Gov. Hochul’s $252B spendapalooza is meant to get her reelected — at YOUR expense
Opinion by Post Editorial Board • 15h
Gov. Hochul rolled out an obscene quarter-trillion-dollar spendapalooza Tuesday that picks taxpayers’ pockets, then buys votes with that money. Even while she touts her “affordability” agenda.
Don’t be fooled, New York: You’re being fleeced.
And all in an attempt to get her reelected.
Hochul’s $252 billion redistribution plan jacks up overall spending $9 billion (3.6%) from last year’s outrageous price tag — but boosts the state’s operating outlays a whopping 7.9% (multiples of inflation), to a stratospheric $143.8 billion.
Such figures are off the charts: Consider, for instance, that the Empire State’s per capita spending as of 2022 — $15,368 — was higher than every other state except Alaska, 50% higher than the national average ($10,622 per capita) and nearly twice as much as in Florida, which has more people, the Citizens Budget Commission reported.
