Rising bills? Check Democrats’ record, not Lawler’s ties

In a classic political power play worthy of a prime-time drama, Democrats are pointing fingers at Republican Rep. Mike Lawler for cozying up to utility companies just as New Yorkers sweat over soaring energy bills. Lawler, representing a vulnerable Hudson Valley district, flips the script and blames a decade of Democrat-led state policies for the skyrocketing costs — talk about passing the hot potato! With the midterms looming and a crowded Democratic primary eager to flip his House seat, this energy blame game is heating up faster than your monthly bill, setting the stage for a showdown that’s as electrifying as the grid itself.
