@thecivicthread: Energy costs took center stage during the only gubernatorial debate between Kathy Hochul and Bruce Blakeman. Blakeman blamed the governor for rising utility bills and called for changes to New York’s energy policies, while Hochul argued that federal actions and obstacles to state energy projects have contributed to higher costs. The clash highlighted one of the biggest issues facing New Yorkers this election cycle: affordability. Both candidates used the debate to make competing cases for how they would lower energy expenses and address the state’s overall cost of living.
