NY gets what they paid for....they voted for socialized medicine, its far time they experience it firsthand rather than demand the producers of the "fly-over" country to provide for their stupidity.

Fredo’s brother is a crook - closed a lot of hospitals in Brooklyn with false promises so he can spend on green new deal scams.

I hope he is the Dem nominee... it will be a bloodbath

Too bad he wasted $10 billion dollars of public funding, along with tax breaks in the name of economic development, expensive giveaways that resulted in a series of broken promises and boondoggles...all while lining the pockets of his donors with these phony projects that never went anywhere.

Like his father, he closed a lot of psychiatric centers, and prisons. Now he's letting convicts out on the street while people in New York are told to stay locked indoors. And he won't even afford you the right to protect yourself from home invasion.

The State of New York has always had a deficit when a Cuomo has been in charge. Mario Cuomo left the State in horrendous condition. It would have been worse if Pataki hadn't beaten him.
