Op-ed | Hochul must not abdicate New York's climate commitments amNewYork

Jewish community sees eye-to-eye on, especially these days. So when over a thousand members of the community from all denominations and across the state get behind a single issue, it's no small deal. The issue at hand? Governor Hochul's abdication of leadership when it comes to addressing the climate crisis. It's pretty simple. The Governor, previously a keen champion for climate action, is quietly (and sometimes, not so quietly) walking back previous commitments and refusing to take on new ones.
