Mayor Bill de Blasio, unleashing months of frustration on Tuesday, said Gov. Andrew Cuomo undermined his Albany agenda and wasnt focused on New York City residents but instead cared about deal making and revenge.
Mr. de Blasio said he expected more retribution from the governor, a fellow Democrat, for expressing his views Tuesday afternoon, but he said he was prepared to handle it. Mr. de Blasio also said the governor had been disappointing since the mayor endorsed him last year for re-election.
...
Melissa DeRosa, a spokeswoman for the governor, said Mr. Cuomo wished the mayor well on his coming vacation, which was slated to begin Tuesday. For those new to the process, it takes coalition building and compromise to get things done in government, she said, referring to the mayor who took office 18 months ago.
Mr. de Blasios comments represent his sharpest critique of a man he previously called a personal friend.
...
Attacking Mr. Cuomo and the state Senate could have serious repercussions for the mayor. Mr. de Blasio needs both to agree to any new law, and without their help, his agenda could be blocked again in upcoming years.
The mayor is still going to have to go back to the governor and go back to Albany, said Hank Sheinkopf, a Democratic strategist who has worked for the governor. It may help him electorally in New York City, but it will not help him governmentally.
Mr. Sheinkopf said the mayor could pay a price for his candor. The governor does not suffer from amnesia, he said, and hes got the power.

Don’t you just love it when libs eat their own?
Yep. Got to get the popcorn ready.
Yep—— love wins— depending who and what you love— or hate. Hellary should pick a side and make things more interesting for Old Yuck spate.
Mayoral Meltdown. Funny that Cuomo got the (Wilhelm needs a) vacation jab in.
Good thing guns are outlawed in N.Y. Otherwise those two mentally disturbed Commies would be shooting at each other.
Any chance we could get them to meet up in Wyoming?
Cuomo’s going to be indicted. That’s why deBlasio is making his move.
And this is how he treats Democrats . . .
You find the best graphics!
I think the only way to settle this is mortal combat in Madison Square Garden. Don’t know which one I would be rooting for more for the loss. Both losing would be good.
As a bonus, the gate receipts would go a long way in settling many city or state debt problems, as many citizens would love to see these two beat each other.
This is getting gooder.
Cat fight!
Uh, I mean rat fight, rat fight!!
Don’t bring popcorn, it’s not a pretty sight. Satisfying, though.
De Blasio may be getting a social call from Vito, Dominic, & the boys.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
