No chance in hell I'm going to let the CCP get its hands on Upstate farmland. My 'America First' amendment would better track foreign purchases of US land and protect national security. Because Upstate farmland should belong to Upstate farmers.

Central Hudson’s foreign parent company is reporting record profits, but they think you should pay more. Today in Albany I argued against their latest plan to raise rates AGAIN. Because the only bottom line I care about is yours.
