New York is not immune from Trump White House pressure. The state just OKed an underwater natural gas pipeline in exchange for lifting a blockade on an offshore wind project, coincidentally on the day that Elise Stefanik announced her run for governor against Kathy Hochul. Over to you, New Jersey.
State Permits Trump-Backed Natural Gas Pipeline in New York Waters
The Williams pipeline would span 17 miles near the Rockaways and Staten Island. The state had rejected the project three times previously.

Would love to see this on Law and Order, but those writers don’t do humor. Could have been one for ‘The Good Wife.’
The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.
"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.
"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

One of the confounding things about governing the largest city in America is that it is largely at the mercy of Albany. Hard to see how Mamdani gets the money he wants to pursue his agenda.
