ALBANY — Former New York Gov. David Paterson raised questions Thursday about why Gov. Andrew Cuomo is taking 14 days to officially leave office following his resignation announcement. 

Paterson, a former lieutenant governor who ascended to New York’s top office after Gov. Eliot Spitzer resigned amid his own sex scandal, told WNYC’s The Brian Lehrer Show that the two-week window before Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul can take over seems dubious.

Hurricane gloria was in mid 80s and super storm sandy was about 10 years ago. He might be right though, his father might have handled it much better.

PPP lib response: "Yeah, but the difference is the democrats punish their own"

 

 

LOL

 

 

CUOMO COMEBACK BEGINS: Looks like the Democratic National Committee’s fund-raising arm is helping the soon-to-be-former New York chief executive pay off debts and start a stash for future opportunities.

Glad to see we have new blood in office. Perhaps female perspective will help her out state leadership back on track. 
 

That said….we’re to believe the Lt Governor had zero knowledge of her boss sexually harassing employees, and was totally, completely in the dark on the COVID death count?  No one warned her, no one raised red flags, she wasn’t interested in looking into the numbers occurring on her watch?   
 

Sure. 
 

Meet the new boss, likely same as the old boss.

Just playing devil's advocate- maybe she assisted in getting him ousted because of his actions. I have no inside information but I want to give her a fair shot

I'm sure they didn't communicate often.  She isn't his type. Who wants a buzzkill at the conference table?

The information I’m thinking she was read in on would not come from him.  I can’t imagine her being clueless as for they types of things that brought him down—too many voices with too many ambitious people, and he’s too big a target.

Maybe, but she’s been lt gov since 2015. If she didn’t know, she was blissfully ignorant.  
 

Btw, on the Today show right after Cuomo announced his resignation, Savannah Guthrie quizzed her on what she knew and how she might have missed it.  Hochul’s response was I’m essence “I travel a lot”.   It would have been nice to see her pressed on that. 
 

This is politics and my only point is that it would be virtually impossible for her not to be read in on information this potentially damaging to her.  No idea the numbers were being cooked?  No idea Cuomo groped female staffers?

Nah.  Don't overreact.  New York and California are simply dying and no longer relevant.  California losing house seats for first time ever.  New York has the same population it had in 1970.

 

You leave.  Unfortunately, many vote the same way.  That has to stop.  

 

Because these policies will follow them.  See Virginia.
