Some good and a lot of bad in Cuomos State of the State / Budget Address today: I was proud to see Governor Cuomo’s salute to the 10th Mountain Division troops at Fort Drum. They are the tip of the spear in our nation’s defense. The governor is also right to focus on counter-terrorism. New York is a target for terrorists. We need to work together to keep our state secure. Governor Cuomo touts a falling unemployment rate, but it’s driven by people dropping out of the work force or leaving the state. The Federal Reserve says upstate New York has only gained back half the jobs it lost during the recession. The Fed described upstate as really struggling and yet to see meaningful recovery. New Yorkers don’t see the economy improving. Cuomo is living in a bubble if he thinks the economy is doing well. New Yorkers can see the continuing economic decline in their daily lives. The state hasnt turned around, the statistics prove it and we all see it. Click the link to KMLNY for the full statement:
