Feud Between Mayor de Blasio and Governor Cuomo Reaches New Low
Village Voice ^ | December 14, 2016 | Max Rivlin-Nadler

The feud between the mayor and the governor has expanded from spats on affordable housing and universal pre-K to a macabre form of accountability-gamesmanship over the death of 6-year-old Zymere Perkins, who was beaten to death this past September in Harlem.

Before Perkins’s death, the city had already been given five prior reports about possible abuse, the revelation of which set off a firestorm over the city’s handling of the case. Immediately following Perkins death in September, Governor Andrew Cuomo ordered the state to look into the death, saying that, "It should remind us all that what government does matters, and when government fails, there are consequences.”

ANDREW CUOMO AND FANNIE AND FREDDIE August 2008 Village Voice

BY Wayne Barrett

Andrew Cuomo, the youngest Housing and Urban Development secretary in history, made a series of decisions between 1997 and 2001 that gave birth to the country’s current crisis. He took actions that—in combination with many other factors—helped plunge Fannie and Freddie into the subprime markets without putting in place the means to monitor their increasingly risky investments. He turned the Federal Housing Administration mortgage program into a sweetheart lender with sky-high loan ceilings and no money down, and he legalized what a federal judge has branded “kickbacks” to brokers that have fueled the sale of overpriced and unsupportable loans. Three to four million families are now facing foreclosure, and Cuomo is one of the reasons why. . .

It’s not just the feud between these 2 losers that’s reaching a new low. THEY define the worst slime-level low in politicians. They are fixed in concrete on their libtard agendas and never ever look UP to check them against reality. All under their administration suffer, except for the illegals, criminals, and freeloaders.

Barrett, despite his terrible politics, is a great investigative reporter.

As a conservative/libertarian in this local area, I must admit that however much of a sideshow this feud is—it is absolutely delicious!

I don’t understand why the liberal savages don’t extend abortion rights up to the age of 3-years old. That’d solve so many crimes.

I expect both to be in prison before their terms end.

No kidding! I bet when it's over, they will both have very sore wrists from sissy-slapping each other.
