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.

and don’t forget, in Dixie we all fly our confederate flags and love guns and hate fags. This is definitely not the place for liberal New Yorkers.
I was going to say dumbass, but your description of him works. :-)
Maybe he’s referring to the business climate.
New York does have a really bad business climate.
Here’s a fun fact about New York that most out-of-state probably don’t know. Unlike other states, NY implementation of ObamaCare does not rate premiums based upon age of the insured. A 24-year-old man pays the same monthly premium as a 64-year-old woman. According to the Kaiser website, NY silver plan premiums increased by about 250% from 2014 to 2017. It would really suck to be a young person trying to start up a business in NY.
I’m two weeks away from permanently leaving NY State. I pray all goes well. No more high taxes. No more funding a state that governs against my will. No more living in a state in which the Governor tells me I’m not welcome. I’m taking all my assets and high-tailing it out of here ASAP.
Yep. Most of them are moving south to escape the global warming.
Is there a single Cuomo anywhere that doesn’t have their head up their ass?
My niece went to RIT too. Think she graduated between 2000-2004. She and her family, plus her mother (my brother’s widow) live in Ontario, NY. I get out there to see them a few times a year.
Hi Neighbor! Worked at Mid-State and Marcy Correctional Facility until I retired in 2003. This area is still too cheap to live in to move anywhere else.
But with globull warming, the weather should be getting better.
Yeah has been going forever, maybe you’re right, but I think in 2018, when a Democrat says, “climate”, the implication is it’s because of climate change. But maybe not.
Too many Cuomonimbus clouds.
Errr...wouldn’t say we “hate fags”. I know some “fags” who don’t like what they’re seeing from the left. Biz owners.
He’s an Idiot, but, hey, they voted for him.
Mr. Coumo, do you suppose it has anything to do with your social and economic policies?
Proof of liberal insanity: liberals vote in oppressive taxes and socially repressive legislation. When society starts to collapse around them the liberals decide to leave. They move to new locations and immediately agitate and vote for the same laws that caused social collapse where they previously lived.
Their famous quote, “Well, that’s the way we did it in ‘XYZ’”.
Then why didn’t you stay in ‘XYZ’ instead of trying to inflict your insanity here?
Drive around NYC, not just Manhattan. You’ll see mile after mile of empty, abandoned realestate, factories and small businesses. NYC is dying and Coumo knows it.
Yep - NY is getting hit with an epic Political/Democrat/Socialist/Communist $#!+storm....can’t batten the hatches enough and even if partially successful, the stink permeates everything...says a proud Mississippian who used to be a New Yorker.
Yes I know and have nothing against them. The whole point is to scare off Leftist Yankees. We have too damn many of those already. They need to stay in the nests they’ve found already instead of coming to our states to try to ruin them with their socialism too.
hahaha, Molinaro should make umbrellas and snow boots part of his campaign icon ... but that I have relatives still in NY who absolutely cannot wait to retire and gtho of NYS.
