ON THE ISSUES: COST OF LIVING

Updated: Oct 9



Our state is seeing an unprecedented rise in the cost of living. We are feeling this even more here in Suffolk County. It is undeniable that the costs our families face are higher now and the money our residents make is simply not going as far.


And with one-party control in Albany, that trend will likely continue with their senseless approach to energy costs, business regulations that harm our small businesses and the never-ending spending on illegal migrants which is the result of the nation's porous borders and sanctuary state policies of New York City and New York State.


Astoundingly, New York State has spent over $4.2 BILLION on the illegal migrant problem over the last two years.


Instead of common sense solutions to the problem, the Democrats are pushing for All Electric buildings and a ban on natural gas and fuel choice for our ratepayers. While we all support the move to renewable energy to protect our planet and future generations, any change of this magnitude must be done through a plan that is created with the input of stakeholders from the energy community, the labor field and, most importantly, the people of New York State. A rushed ban will cost jobs and increase cost on all our families in a time when people cannot afford to pay more.


And the pain for our families does not stop there. From groceries to gas to home heating, our residents need and deserve immediate action from their elected officials in both Albany and Washington, D.C.


Our families need their state to work for them and not the other way around.
