Bronx Democratic Rep. Ritchie Torres rips NY as ‘impossible’ for business and praises Trump coalition — stirring talk of a run for governor
Story by Carl Campanile • 12h

Rep. Ritchie Torres ripped New York’s “misgovernance” during a withering speech Monday that stirred talks the Bronx Democrat could be eyeing a run for governor.

Sounding like a politician with higher aspirations, Torres slammed New York’s policies and rules as anti-business, while saying voters’ disgust with how the city and state are governed spurred more support for President-elect Donald Trump in the Nov. 5 election.

“There are regulations in place that make it impossible to do business …. and have made it impossible to build,” Torres said of New York during a Citizens Budget Commission breakfast at Club 101 in Manhattan.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
