ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo blamed the upstate weather for prompting New Yorkers to flee to other states.
Cuomo told reporters Tuesday that while job losses and high taxes once drove people to leave New York, his administration has ended that trend and improved the local economic situation.
He said many of the New Yorkers leaving the state now are doing so for personal reasons or decisions that he called "climate based."
The comments came after Cuomo's Republican challenger, Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro, said on Monday that Cuomo has failed to stem the number of New Yorkers leaving for states with lower taxes and more jobs.

Cuomo is like the Nicholas Maduro of New York.
The weather in the Susquehanna Valley is cloudy almost all the time (65 days of sunshine a year). Lived there 10 years and weather was one of the reasons we left, that and high taxes.
When we hear someone from New York has moved to Texas, we alert the game warden and he puts a diamondback in their garbage can.
Cuomo needs to human traffick import black Somali muslims.
People are voting to leave NY with their feet. The solution is obviously coercive human trafficking.
New York State and city hook up vacuum cleaner hoses to the pockets of its citizens. Sucks the dollars right out of the pockets. For the privilege of being governed by corrupted LIEberals. I can say that as an ex-NY resident to the first half of my life.
the man is a failure. He has to blame something
just imagine, a Cumo failure
They are all moving to Alaska in order to escape from global warming.
I lived in New York
Up in farm country, upstate NY
I remember snow in June
Nobody is leaving cause it is too warm in NY, everyone is leaving cause of the high taxes and no jobs
Never saw such big mosquitoes as we encountered in Wisconsin and came out during the day to attack us.
But......I thought global warming caused the weather to get......warmer
And we thought Chris Cuomo was Fredo...
New Yorkers should keep away from Colorado. We have Bigfoot creatures roaming the mountains. Home prices have skyrocketed.
New Yorkers should move to Illinois. Home prices are falling.
It’s amazing a Governor would say crap like this with a straight face
How else can you explain it ?
NYS (my old home state) once had 41 electoral votes. It now has 23 and still going to keep dropping.
A once beautiful state wrecked by NYC and Albany. I am so glad I got out.
The Adirondacks are a beautiful place to visit.
Tell me about it...grew up in Binghamton, NY.
Looks like Grubernator Fredo Cuomo is showing signs of dementia...
“The Adirondacks are a beautiful place to visit. “
