#StateoftheState: Gov. Cuomo recognizes #USArmys #FortDrum in sprawling speech that outlines New Yorks reforms and budget priorities -- Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo mentioned Fort Drum and the north country prominently in his sprawling combined State of the State address and budget message Wednesday afternoon as he touted past accomplishments and, at times, veered into more aspirational territory, holding New York state up as an example for the nation. Gov. Cuomo proposed $1.5 million for the #Army’s Compatible Use Buffer Program, which north country representatives said would go a long way toward protecting the post during the next round of Base Realignment and Closing proceedings. Gov. Cuomo spoke of the 323 #10thMountainDivision #Soldiers that have been killed since 9/11 and the crowd at the convention hall adjacent to the Capitol recognized soldiers in attendance with a standing ovation. Gov. Cuomo visited the division in Afghanistan last year. | Watertown Daily Times #news: watertowndailytimes/article/20150121/NEWS03/150129569 | U.S. Army Fort Drum & 10th Mountain Division, XVIII Airborne Corps, U.S. Army, Army IMCOM
