After backlash from environmentalists and state lawmakers, New York Gov.
Kathy Hochul is dropping her push to rewrite the state’s ambitious
climate law — a controversial effort that would’ve changed how New York
accounts for its emissions and weakened the landmark legislation.
POLITICO’s Marie French breaks down why Hochul was looking to rewrite
the climate law and the opposition she faced. Plus, EPA is aiming to
slash cancer-causing chemicals from industrial plants.
