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.
