Blakeman’s statement follows the horrific I-95 bus crash in Virginia that killed five people and hospitalized 44 others, and the Pembroke bus crash that killed another 5 people last August. In both cases, the driver had a New York Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) despite not speaking English—a blatant violation of federal safety regulations.
Blakeman promised immediate, aggressive action to dismantle Hochul’s licensing practices when elected.
