New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and State Lawmakers Strike Budget Deal
ALBANY, N.Y.—Gov. Andrew Cuomo and state lawmakers struck a budget deal Friday night to overhaul New York’s tax code in an effort to bypass aspects of the new federal tax law, implement a surcharge on Uber rides in Manhattan and pour new funding into New York City’s troubled public housing system. The agreement seeks to work around the federal law’s $10,000 cap on deducting state and local taxes from a filer’s federal taxes. Over 1.7 million New Yorkers itemized more than $10,000 in the “SALT” deductions, according to the... … [Read more...] about New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and State Lawmakers Strike Budget Deal
Andrew Cuomo called a ‘punk a–‘ by enraged woman who crashed his Albany press conference
Nothing to see here. Gov. Andrew Cuomo was virtually unfazed as a disturbed woman crashed his press conference Wednesday in Albany – dropping F-bombs and making sexual harassment accusations. The unidentified woman, sporting a Yankees jacket and stocking cap, surfaced from inside the state police station in the state Capitol and began shouting at the press. “Did you know this office doesn’t want to submit a complaint of a sexual harassment I had here? NDA? And they went, they took out a rifle on me Friday, here?” she yelled, according to a video posted on YouTube. She then quickly turned her attention to Cuomo. “Yeah, you’re not doing nothing here, you punk a--! You’re not doing a motherf–king s–t either! I got proof!” she said while pointing in Cuomo’s face. Cuomo took the outburst in stride, turning his back to the ranting woman and resumed his discussion. Several troopers then decided to … [Read more...] about Andrew Cuomo called a ‘punk a–‘ by enraged woman who crashed his Albany press conference

Why New York’s Andrew Cuomo has a race on his hands
What's going on with the race for New York governor? Andrew Cuomo, the New York governor who is running for a third term in November, is in trouble. He's being challenged in the Democratic primary by Cynthia Nixon, a progressive activist who's best known for playing Miranda on "Sex and the City." And while Cuomo is the obvious favorite to win re-election, Nixon has a chance to defeat him. So Cynthia Nixon can win? Yes, but she'll have to run a masterful campaign. Nixon has never run for office before, and Cuomo has some $30 million in the bank, which is important in a state dominated by the extraordinarily expensive New York State media market. But Cuomo has some unique baggage, and New York has an odd system of voting that can benefit insurgents like Nixon. It would be a mistake to say she doesn't have a shot. What's wrong with Andrew Cuomo? On the one hand, Cuomo has a lot going for him. He's got plenty of money. He's relatively popular. He's the scion of a Democratic political … [Read more...] about Why New York’s Andrew Cuomo has a race on his hands
