Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific number of utility rate increases attributed to Hochul's tenure — directly verifiable against utility commission records
What we foundThe specific figure of 48 utility rate increases under Hochul originates solely from Blakeman's own campaign, with no documented methodology, and no independent source has confirmed or refuted that precise count.
