Governor Andrew Cuomo announced a $70 million electric car rebate program March 21. "Reducing vehicle emissions is a critical part of this administration’s efforts to fight climate change and reduce New York’s carbon footprint,” Governor Cuomo said. "These highly-anticipated rebates will make electric vehicles more affordable and accessible and support this state’s nation-leading efforts to build a cleaner, greener New York for generations to come." In a continuing Twitter war between the two politicians, Congressperson John Faso (R-Kinderhook) criticized Cuomo in a tweet about the program, writing, "Another example of unnecessary spending from Albany." Cuomo and Faso have had a war of words after Faso co-sponsored an amendment earlier this week to the Republican healthcare plan that would shift more costs to states.
