Cuomo did the emergency need declaration which bypassed the normal process.
The problem is he is no smarter than his colossally stupid father.
Mario was simply stupid. If you ask him why he lost to Pataki in 1994 he will tell you that the people wanted the death penalty in NY. Really? How does NY having the death penalty affect me on a day to day basis? It doesn’t.
Mario lost the election because he is an arrogant prick and stated publicly that “the speed limit in NY will remain 55 MPH for as long as I am governor”. All of those good NYC liberals driving up I-87 to their summer homes on Lake George, saw the state police enforcing the 55 MPH speed limit (NY really ENFORCED the 55 MPH speed limit) decided they wanted 65 MPH (with a real window of opportunity of 70 MPH to 75MPH) and Mario lost the election handily.
Since the dumb Ginzo didn’t fall far from the the Guido tree, we now have Andrew. Just as arrogant and just as stupid.
LOL!
