The gubernatorial gladiators have finally agreed to enter the debate arena. After weeks of attacking Hochul for agreeing to just one debate on cable TV, Rep. Zeldin blinked, saying he will show up Tuesday for a one-hour matchup on Spectrum TV. Still, the Long Island congressman continued to complain that many New Yorkers won't be able to watch because it wont be on broadcast television.
"Someone needs to remind her," he said of Hochul,"that she was never even elected governor. New Yorkers aren't her apostles. She is not the mother of the state's counties, and the people want to be in charge of their own government again. Meanwhile, Hochul thinks she is an emperor governor, running for a 16th term."It was just last Monday when Zeldin ducked Kramer's question about whether he would agree to face the governor."I have not.
