New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) on Thursday said the $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus package passed by the Senate late Wednesday did not meet the needs of the Empire State, calling the bill "irresponsible" and "reckless."
The $5 billion included in the bill for the state hardest hit by coronavirus is “earmarked only for COVID virus expenses, which means it does absolutely nothing for us in terms of lost revenue for this state,” Cuomo said during his daily coronavirus press briefing. He said he lost revenues are “the bigger problem.”
“The congressional action in my opinion simply failed to address the governmental need,” Cuomo added, saying “I’ve spoken to all the officials involved, I spoke to our House delegation I spoke to our senators … I’m disappointed, I find it irresponsible, I find it reckless.”
The governor said that while “emotion is a luxury and we don’t have the luxury right now of being emotional … when this is over I promise I’m going to give them a piece of my mind.”
“This was the time to put politics aside and partisanship aside,” Cuomo continued. “This is the time for governmental leaders to stop making excuses and just do your job … you know the places in this nation that have the most intense problems, address the places that need the help.”

Oh, NYC’s needs are more important than the rest of the country’s? That much money doesn’t meet or fit your needs?
FU cuomo!

He’s running.
Drop dead - really already.
Well, both NY Senators Voted for it Godfather.
Screw New York.
Bet they put him in in place of Biden.
Incredible.
Use the $$ you’ve earmarked for abortions Mr. Cuomo.
The virus is the problem.
The panic is the problem.
The economy is the problem.
The $2T is irresponsible.
The $2T is not enough.
This is no time to politicize such an event.
Excuse me while I politicize this event.
LOL....Cuomo’s ‘law’ school must’ve skipped over that part of the Constitution.
What needs Mr Cuomo? You were bragging today that you were ‘finding ways to multiply respirators,’ so that one could serve several people at once- so what more do you need? Certainly the rest can be spent on incidentals like gloves, gowns etc- surely there’s plenty left for that now that you’ve multiplied the respirators you’ve got-
I do not give a flying flip about NY snd eill never give a flip about NY.
Who in flyover country does?
He can always ask his many billionaire buddies to reach into their own pockets, but everyone knows how charitable liberals are. Side note re: the rumors that the DNC is looking to him as their nominee. He’s an ugly man; literally. He’s completely physically repulsive; even when he smiles, it’s a sneer and looks like a plan to screw you over. No chance.
If they followed Trump’s lead, they would not be in the position they are in.
Well...that ought to teach um....
I would remind the Gov that NY State is only one of 50 states.
