Gov. Kathy Hochul Thursday sought to gather support for a slate of proposals to reduce the cost of automobile insurance in the Empire State.
“We’re here to continue our journey to drive down costs for New Yorkers,” Hochul told reporters on Wards Island Thursday. “When new Yorkers are paying their bills, there’s yet another bill that keeps going up and up and up — and that is the cost of their car insurance.”
