Eight states have announced a joint effort to promote electric cars. They are taking various steps such as providing more charging stations to encourage people to buy electric cars. Six of those states are in the Northeast--New York, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Vermont. (The other two are California and Oregon.)
Note that Pennsylvania is not on that list. We always seem to be in the shadow of our northern neighbor.
New York permits gay marriage; Pennsylvania does not.
New York has a moratorium on fracking until environmental safeguards are in place; Pennsylvania does not.
New York has a state exchange for the Affordable Care Act; Pennsylvania does not.
New York has expanded Medicaid; Pennsylvania has not.
New York makes it easy to vote; Pennsylvania does not.
New York has an intelligent governor; etc.
Nerw York is the California of the east. Pennsylvania is the Alabama of the north.
