Coumo personifies the slimy politician stereotype. His patronizing nature toward any area north of NYC is one reason for my dislike. His insistence on "feel-good" BS gun regulations are a major sticking point with me. The SAFE act is one of the most misguided and useless bunch of laws ever enacted. Not a single person will be saved by his asinine requirement that you only fill a 10 round magazine with 7 rounds. (criminals intent on killing people won't follow that law).
He touted the fact that he "created" Text Stops along the thruway. What he really did was spend a bunch of $ on signs that were tacked on to the current rest stop signs. If you are too stupid to realize that you can pull over to text at a rest stop, you probably shouldn't be driving a motor vehicle in the first place. But it got his face in the paper. Coumo never met a camera that he didn't like.
He is enemy # 1 with educators in the state right now too. I'm sure I could dig up other examples, but this isn't PPP so I'll just end by stating that he isn't one of my favorite people and it wouldn't upset me to see him get kicked in the nuts by a buffalo.
