Mr. Cuomo defended the decision to allow the Long Island Expressway and other major thoroughfares to remain open. In Massachusetts, the authorities banned cars from the roads before the storm.

“We wanted to give people an opportunity to get home,” Mr. Cuomo said. “We didn’t want to strand people at work.”

Since the storm was going to hit the NY area earlier in the day, why didn't he suggest that State offices close, and employers cut their employees loose early in the day, or better still, suggest people stay home?

In MA, State govt. offices, many city government offices, and all schools were closed. Many other businesses closed around noon, simply to get folks out and home, off the roads, or give them the ability to do last minute errands before the snow got heavy. That contributed to there being NO cars having been abandoned on the roadways to block plows, so the roads could be cleared much earlier.

I'd venture to guess that ALL the major roads in the affected areas in MA are cleared already, and even smaller roads in towns and cities are probably clear. They didn't have to deal with getting around cars left on the roads by drivers who couldn't handle the slush, and diminished visibility from the heavy snowfall.

Because he’s the worst governor we’ve ever had, bar none. Obama and minions are now suing the SEC for $5 billion as a giant propaganda stunt to make people believe the Republicans caused the financial crisis, not Cuomo and Faniie and Freddie and other Dem dunces.

This has to be repeated to everyone who is getting brainfogged on this issue.
