ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — In New York state government news, the challengers hoping to oust Gov.
There are no debates scheduled in the governor’s race so far, and only a month to go before the Nov. 6 election.
Libertarian candidate Larry Sharpe is also on the ballot.
Molinaro accused Cuomo of ducking debates last week, saying that he’s willing to participate in several debates — though he wants them to be one-on-one with Cuomo.
"I am proud to talk about my record and vision for New York, but it’s clear that Andrew Cuomo can’t say the same," he said.
That’s especially true for Miner and Hawkins, who could use the debate to take their message to a broader audience.
Hawkins said he proposed a series of debates around the state.
A state task force charged with addressing the state’s drinking water contamination problem missed its deadline last week — and environmental groups aren’t happy about it.
Cuomo has even talked about the money before — frequently touting it and the creation of the drinking water council as evidence that he’s taking the problem seriously.
PFOA has contaminated drinking water in Hoosick Falls in Rensselaer County, while PFOS has contaminated drinking water around an Air National Guard base in Newburgh and groundwater near another base on Long Island.
