Andrew Cuomo’s latest iteration might be the one that carries him through his campaign for New York Governor. He’s gone from Andrew Cuomo the Governor’s policy guy (that Governor was his dad Mario), to Andrew Cuomo Clinton HUD Secretary (some say he’s the primary cause of the current mortgage crisis), to Andrew Cuomo the flame out candidate for Governor, to Andrew Cuomo the rehabbed Attorney General candidate, and now we have Andrew Cuomo – the reformer. From The Buffalo News:
State Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo brought his proposal for reducing local government to Buffalo on Thursday.
Cuomo spoke at the University at Buffalo Law School on the North Campus, where he outlined a plan that would empower citizens to eliminate costly and redundant layers of government.
“I know change is hard,” Cuomo said, “but I don’t know if you have another alternative. I don’t know if [New York] can afford the old structure and remain competitive.”
