**Chaos**
New York Governor Kathy Hochul's recent address underscores the escalating chaos and incompetence plaguing the state, raising serious concerns among residents and leaders alike.
As Hochul promotes an agenda filled with unaffordable giveaways, her administration simultaneously ignores the rampant crime and economic mismanagement that have led to an exodus of New Yorkers seeking refuge in more stable states.
Rep. Mike Lawler has publicly criticized Hochul's decision to double down on sanctuary state policies that have turned New York into a magnet for illegal immigrants.
He questioned, "What the common sense in spending billions of dollars of your tax money to provide free housing, health care, and education to those who have entered the country illegally?"
The situation has become dire, with felony assaults in New York City skyrocketing nearly 150%.
Despite these alarming numbers, Hochul seems unbothered, advocating for cashless bail and other controversial measures that critics label as misguided.
Lawler pointed out that New York now boasts the highest state and local taxes in the nation, compelling families and businesses alike to leave.
He highlighted how state spending has surged by $90 billion since Hochul took office, and the introduction of congestion pricing serves only to punish hardworking residents while lining the pockets of an ineffectual public transportation system.
Rather than proposing solutions, Hochul's recent promises appear to be little more than political theater aimed at salvaging her image rather than addressing the challenges facing everyday New Yorkers.
Lawler emphasized the need for genuine tax relief and the repeal of burdensome regulations that have crippled New York's economy, calling on Hochul to focus on sensible reforms that promote law and order.
With manufacturing jobs fleeing the state and families increasingly burdened by the cost of living, the question remains: When will the Hochul administration wake up to the reality confronting New Yorkers?
The contrast between Hochul's rhetoric and the lived experience of her constituents has never been clearer, and change is mandatory if New York is to reclaim its former glory.
Until then, the chaos will continue, leaving residents yearning for strong, effective leadership that can restore stability and opportunity.
