Kathy Air: Gov. Hochul leaves taxpayers with $250K tab for flights around NY

By Zach Williams

When Gov. Kathy Hochul headed home after a downstate campaign rally last April, she didn’t drive a car or call an Uber like ordinary New Yorkers.

Instead, she beckoned a Beechcraft King Air 200 from Albany to fly her 400 miles west to Buffalo — at taxpayer expense.

The flight was part of the high-flying travel habits Hochul has maintained that have cost the public more than $250,000 since she took office last year, according to an analysis of newly-released documents by The Post.

“Kathy Hochul’s extravagant flight plans, funded entirely by taxpayers, appear to be even more ridiculous as additional information becomes public,” said Assembly Minority Leader William Barclay (R-Pulaski).

Flights records obtained by The Post through the Freedom of Information Law show that state police added 60 more flights since April to the approximately 200 they have flown on behalf of Hochul since she replaced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo last August.

What she did is a crime.  She billed the taxpayers for campaign expenses.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

I too go to barbecues in business casual attire where I grill burgers in white clothes with a spatula that I hold like a spoon and an apron with the creases still on them.

A white dress, too - just perfect grilling attire. Why is she offering us a completely uncooked burger, though? Trying to kill us, Kathy?!?!?!
