Hochul said Monday that “I am not negotiating publicly. Everything will be told at the right time.” She also said earlier that “My No. 1 goal in terms of the bills is to make sure they stay in Buffalo and to get them a new home.” If Pegula pulls the “I’ll go unless you build me a $ 1 billion stadium” threat, as reports say he’s done, Hochul is in a very difficult situation. She must stand up for the principle that even a beloved team, New York State’s best (and sorry Jets and Giants) only real home team, can not take the public on a tax trip.
