MY SAY: ELECTIONS ARE COMING FOR NEW YORK STATE….RETHINKING ANDREW CUOMO
I am so obsessed with Congress and 2014 I almost forgot that New York State has a gubernatorial election in November. Governor Andrew Cuomo(D ) is running for reelection and his major challenger is Rob Astorino (R)a splendid man who has been a successful Westchester County Executive. He deserves higher office and will obtain it…but not in this election….the numbers just don’t add up.
The mystery is why Andrew Cuomo is running on some very conservative issues- a better budget and significant cuts in taxes. Does he get what’s blowing in the wind- a general conservative trend nationally? Is he just rehearsing for a Presidential bid?
New York State has had mediocre governors…Andrew’s father among them. Mario Cuomo was, like Adlai Stevenson,- lofty rhetoric masquerading mediocrity even at being mediocre. And George Pataki?
In any event Andrew Cuomo is aggressive, ambitious and sharp.
Why not put his feet to the fire and ask about fracking which will restore New York’s economy significantly? New York State is magnificent- endowed with mountains, rivers and parks- great state colleges and universities- excellent hospitals and medical schools…..and badly in need of help.
Will Andrew Cuomo step up to the task? Ask him.
