Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman visited Mario’s Meats & Gourmet Deli in Queens, where a new sandwich named "The Blakeman" was unveiled. The $15 sandwich includes fresh roasted turkey and other ingredients on a hero roll. Blakeman promised to reduce the price by several dollars if he wins the election on November 3, emphasizing his focus on lowering costs for consumers and businesses. He highlighted how operating expenses have increased significantly since Governor Kathy Hochul took office five years ago. The deli owner, Joe Digangi, agreed that high energy prices are a significant burden, noting that while they were making money over the summer, much of it was going towards covering rising fuel and electricity costs.
