NYGOP Chair Ed Cox has commented on the recent loss of 1,550 jobs, attributing it to what he describes as a challenging business environment in New York. According to Cox, this situation reflects broader issues under the leadership of Governor Kathy Hochul and Albany Democrats.

“This tragic loss of jobs is a stark reminder of the hostile environment Kathy Hochul and Albany Democrats have created for businesses and working families across our state," Cox stated.

He further criticized the state's policies, saying, “This is not an isolated incident. Crippling taxes, skyrocketing energy costs and anti-business regulations are driving businesses out of New York and pushing our citizens to seek opportunity elsewhere."

Cox's remarks highlight ongoing debates about economic policy in New York State.
