Governor Hochul is proposing to lower car insurance costs and crack down on fraud

Governor Hochul is running for reelection this year in part on what she calls an “affordability agenda.” The Governor has been crisscrossing New York State pitching a series of plans she says will bring the cost of living down in the notoriously expensive state. And one of those expenses is the skyrocketing cost of car insurance.
