Governor Kathy Hochul's remarks about the inability to afford eggs for an Easter event, despite her high income, drew sharp criticism from lawmakers. Her comment during an interview, where she hinted at the rising prices of eggs as a joke, highlighted a disconnect with the challenges faced by many New Yorkers struggling with basic expenses. Lawmakers from both parties criticized her insensitivity, emphasizing that for a significant portion of the population, the soaring prices of necessities like eggs are far from humorous and reflect broader economic struggles.
"Heaven help anybody who's going to use real eggs on Easter. I can't afford them."
"The governor should be ashamed of herself... for millions of New Yorkers, not being able to afford eggs is no joke."
