Thirty-five years ago, as a late teen, I came to New York to attend yeshiva. As an avid follower of news and politics, I recall cringing every time I heard then–New York governor Mario Cuomo on the radio, as he pontificated on the issues of the day, spewing forth liberal platitudes as if they were divine truths that no one dare question, while failing to say anything of substance, as the state was falling apart. It was a disgrace.
Seventeen years later, Cuomo's son, Andrew, was sworn in as the 56th governor of New York. Although none of my friends or family members voted for him, people commented at the time that Andrew Cuomo was better than his father — pro-business; anti-crime; not as politically correct; and willing to take on ultra-progressives, such as NYC mayor Bill de Blasio. The crime rate in New York State was not escalating, the rate of businesses leaving the state was not increasing, and things seemed sort of OK for a state led by a Democrat (although issues of morality, with Cuomo's infatuation with "gay pride" and his non-marital domestic relationship, left much to be desired).
For whatever reason, starting two years ago, Andrew Cuomo started getting totally unhinged, with his May 2018 restoration of voting rights to over 24,000 parolees. (This just happened to occur a few months before Cuomo's reelection — no coincidence, of course...)

And, where was G. Soros during this time?
His girlfriend and he broke up.
The two women in his life had to leave him because he is an obnoxious low self esteem bully. That internal failure makes him continue to blow up normality.

I personally hope Times Square returns to what it was in the 70’s and 80’s: Porn Shops, Hookers, Homeless everywhere and the stench of urine. Or, as Liberals say; THE GOOD OLD DAYS!
Screw NY. They get what they vote for.
Andy is in on the grift in a big way. Show him the money. It also doesn’t help that Democrats have a lock on the state house now. Look for increasingly stupid legislation emanating from that corrupt sewer up in Albany.
When it becomes untenable, he’ll ride off into the sunset to make way for an even more lunatic governor.
They are only into their second year of total psychocrat rule.
Too many bad Italian dinners served by Sandra Lee?

She can make me TV dinners and they would taste divine.
It’s all about money....
Being a resident of N.Y., I just cannot beleive the turmoil that schmuck Cuomo and hie Democrat henchmen have caused. I am also dismayed with how bad the GOP is here. Surprised Lee Zeldin has survived remaining a Republican rep to Congress!!!! The GOP needs to wake up here!!!

Lee Zeldin lives in Suffolk County, Long Island. This county went for Trump in 2016.
