In a letter to Trump dated May 21, Cuomo requested “the federal government treat this as an emergency situation” and asked Trump to provide funding for construction and transportation alternatives, as well as for a long-term solution.

[1Old Pro]

Cuomo needs to understand that this a state funding issue and he needs to stop funding welfare programs and allowing his infrastructure to collapse. He still thinks of America and the Government as a socialist funding source.

DaCommieo’s problem. Let them raise taxes.

[Blue Turtle]

What about all the money Cuomo is spending on keeping illegals in city and their college tuition? Can’t he use that?

That's the response I expect the Trump admin will provide.

[Mr. K]

NY has some of the highest taxes in the country... what is he spending it on?

Didn’t NY State decide it was free college for everybody?

[PGR88]

NY is a a progressive, leftist swamp, taxed at the highest levels in the nation.

Tell them to go to hell.

[Red Badger]

Did New Yawk electoral votes go for Trump?

No?

Then FOADC........................

Raise the cigarette tax and implement a new sugar tax. There solved. If those aren’t enough raise the stock transfer tax. Let the rich people pay for it.

Trumps reply should be: “Get rid of NY SAFE act (gun control) and your sanctuary cities and THEN we’ll sit down and hammer out a deal that will make NY great again!”

The only infrastructure Cuomo is concerned about collapsing is the lucrative benefits and pensions government workers, Unionized workers and those who work for the Unions themselves get.

You want to improve America's infrastructure? Abolish The Davis-Bacon Act, The Jones Act and make government employees and Unionized workers pay for their own damn benefits and pensions.

He still thinks of America and the Government as a socialist funding source.

He probably always will. He is a pinko commie geek.

Tell New York to pound sand until they fully cooperate with federal enforcement of immigration laws.

"Like a natural disaster, we didn’t create it but our public offices require we address it."

Yes in fact, it's called bad management.

[grania]

Send home invaders and use the money saved to finance infrastructure. Multiple benefits....more high paying jobs, filled by US citizens = less welfare and unemployment costs and more tax revenue.

Duhhhh.....

[dfwgator]

“Trump to City, ‘Drop Dead’”

[mewzilla]

Welfare, Medicaid, pensions and bennies for state employees.

Note to the other 49: I live in NYS. Telling Cuomo to go to Hell would be the best thing you could do for us.

[reed13k]

Definitely another deal making opportunity.

[HangnJudge]

New York is a strong state with a vibrant industrial and business base.
What the Heck are they doing hitting up the federal government for a state level reconstruction task?

[mewzilla]

Strong state?! Vibrant business and industrial base?!

Pard, just gotta ask, have you been here lately?
