I love him. Just watched it. He never fails to impress with his logic.
I am a Democrat, but NOT a fan of his brother, Chris (too cocky - never smiles) - Andrew Cuomo is a rare combination of intelligence, integrity, and humor.
He is an idiot...He was responsible to NYS...not Trump.
DeBlasio and the other clowns celebrating Chinese New Years..encouraging everyone to come out to join them...They certainly set an example..Didn't they?
DeBlasio was responsible to NYC (at least is suppose to be...). Not Trump.
Many people that lost someone in the nursing homes, because of Cuomo, will not let it go by...They should take action and demand the federal Justice Department investigate Cuomo.
His only accomplishment was to name a bridge after his father (because nobody else would ever think of it). And that was a joke...He rushed to open it before the last election because he was worried about being voted out. So, they opened the bridge, and within 30 days, they ripped up one of the center lanes to put something or other in...
Then a few months later, they closed the outer lanes as they rushed the opening so much, they had to close it to put in bus lanes...You know what bus lanes are - We've had them for 40 or 50 freaking years, and these corrupt idiots opened a new bridge without bus lanes...And the commuters were inconvenienced once again for many months.
And to top it off, the freaking roads connected to the bridge are a disaster....But then again, all NYS roads are pretty much a disaster.
The Cuomos are another no talent wanna-be dynasty.

I know that he is governor of NY, but it was my first time hearing him talking on TV, partly because I watch S. Colbert show now and then...the way he talks indicates that there is a disconnection between his brain and tongue/lip muscles...sounds awful...
I agree that Cuomo single-handedly murdered a lot of NY seniors for his reckless handling of covid in NYS.

I worked on that project! As I recall, the rush had to do with federal deadlines (it was in a fast-track program for infrastructure). It had to be on time to get federal funds. The lack of bus lanes had to do with the fast-tracking too. I'm not a traffic expert, but I think these lanes were not included initially to simplify/speed up the required traffic analysis. So it's not like they forgot about the bus lanes in a hurry, it's kind of crazy to go back and put them in later but that was the plan...

Response: Opinion
Typical New York State behavior embraced by entitled politicians.
Waiting on Federal Funds while throwing away daily revenues for much needed city infrastructure.
No different than a crackhead getting free food ( EBT card ) and selling it for another high...............

So what you are saying I am sure is correct - But it does show again how lousy he and the planners he used screwed up all along.
Why was there a need for "fast track"?...To me that means they screwed up the work, and simply planned badly. I remember there was at least one incident of a barge accident - maybe that delayed it somewhat..But good planning allows ample time fo possible occurrences and delays.
Do you know why the center lane was ripped up as soon as it opened?... It looked like a 3' or so wide lane repair nearly the whole length of the bridge - like they laid a cable or pipe they forgot to do...or had to replace already.

No, I don't know about the center lane, sorry! As for the "fast track" - I gather it was a jobs creation thing. There were several big infrastructure projects picked all over the country, but they had to be done on a certain timeline (I guess so they don't end up permanently delayed and not actually creating jobs).
Cuomo sent all the old people back into nursing homes so they could die from Covid. Then he blamed it on Trump.
No. Those deaths are on his head.
The man is such a narcissist he is projecting his guilt and blame onto others. A big part of the death toll figures in the USA are from states like NY and Florida where they did this. Outside the elderly and obese population very few have died from Covid STATISTICALLY SPEAKING.
He is also a giant toolbag for naming a bridge after his own father - a bridge ironically that flows over the very river his dad allowed IBM and GE to turn into toxic sludge by dumping chemicals into during his tenure.

Overall it was still a big screw-up
