Hochul (\u201cGov. Unicorn,\u201d PostOpinion, Oct. 4).<\/p>\n<p>Gelinas refers to Hochul as a unicorn who may deliver rainbows to this state because as an upstate Democrat, she fully understands why jobs have disappeared from the Empire State. Not so fast.<\/p>\n<p>That independence of mind is just not in evidence in her background. She is a career political hack who mostly rose through her party\u2019s political ladder by being appointed to jobs and not winning elections.<\/p>\n<p>She is not the upstate champion riding to the rescue of downstate New Yorkers. She is already leaning left to cater to the anti-police defunders and raise-taxes groups. Give her some time, Gelinas, and you\u2019ll think Hochul has been living in Park Slope for 30 years.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stanley Rubin<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Fresh Meadows<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I think Gelinas gives Hochul way too much credit for smarts she clearly doesn\u2019t posses.<\/p>\n<p>Gelinas notes that Hochul should avoid positioning herself as far-left.<\/p>\n<p>While pointing out that Hochul has appointed two \u201cdefund the police\u201d radicals to her administration, Gelinas says the governor is smart to co-opt the opposition.<\/p>\n<p>Except this raises the question \u2014 is she opposed to the politics of these two radicals?
