“I haven’t taught people in fifty years what my father taught by example in one week.” — Mario Cuomo
English: Andrew Cuomo, 11th United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and 64th New York State Attorney General as a candidate for Governor of New York, outside of City Hall, little American flags on his tie. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
(I wish Mario’s son, Andrew, paid more attention to the example that his father set! The biggest thing he’s got going for him is that his current opponent is more objectionable than he is. Under his governorship he has allowed hydro-fracking in New York, and is doing little to slow its expansion, despite it being politically unpopular. He’s allowed the transport of Bakken crude oil on New York’s railways, which is another environmental disaster waiting to happen. He also has not come out against a proposed Bakken crude oil pipeline. See above. He has not come out against a proposed desalinization plant on the Hudson River, directly across from a nuclear power plant. He has not come out against a chicken processing plant in a residential area. He was a big proponent of casino gambling in New York! He was slow on the medical marijuana issue, although he did finally come through on that. He’s doing, or not doing, everything to be viewed as a moderate, in hopes of some day running for president. He has not impressed me. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
