CLCPA; clean energy mandates

Senator O'Mara

Senator O'Mara joined his colleagues earlier this year to continue warning against "unaffordable and unrealistic" energy mandates.

This proposed action would be the latest addition to a disaster in the making and Governor Hochul should immediately veto it.
