New York Governor Andrew Cuomo isn’t going anywhere….
The media has reported that NY State lawmakers are moving to take away Cuomo’s ability to do executive orders….
THAT is NOT true….
He’s the Governor…
He STILL Can do them….
The lawmakers would have 30 days to ‘review them’….
…
It appears that Senator Gillbrand is receiving collateral damage for her actions against the Senator Frankel and NOT against her Governor Cuomo…
…
No major NY State Democrats will come out directly against Cuomo….
…
The governor’s people seem to have hid the number of nursing home deaths…
There is NO report that the Governor himself was aware or condoned this…
…
Cuomo continues to work….
He has opened up more local vaccination centers around the state…
He has announce the Johnson and Johnson vaccine roll out…
He has announced a 1/2 billion dollar energy project…
He has announced that 15% of New Yorkers have gotten one vaccine shot…
He has been announcing the opening of indoor and out dinning….
He has allowed school sports to restart….
55% of New Yorkers want their Governor to keep doing his job….
Only 21% of New Yorkers would want him to quit…
I’m getting a flash back to Bill Clinton compartmentalizing and weathering the storm….

Embattled New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo doubled down in defending himself against calls for his resignation on Sunday, saying that quitting would be “undemocratic.”
His comments during a press briefing came after two more women came forward over the weekend to accuse him of inappropriate behavior.
“I’m not going to resign because of allegations,” he told reporters on a conference call. “The premise of resigning because of allegations is actually antidemocratic. We’ve always done the exact opposite — the system is based on due process and the credibility of the allegations.”
Cuomo said on Wednesday that he had no intention of resigning and will instead allow an investigation overseen by state Attorney General Tish James to play out….

I can’t confirm this but I heard Bush’s Scotties were known to nip here and there but that’s just how terriers cam be some time. At least terriers I’ve had. My current pup is a shih tau mix that can get testy too. It happens.

Biden weighs in Cuomo….
(Not something I think Biden should be doing….he’s be there also?)
President Joe Biden says Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York should resign and may face prosecution if an investigation confirms claims of sexual harassment against him.
“Yes, I think he’ll probably end up being prosecuted, too,” Biden said, responding to a question from ABC’s George Stepanopoulos.
…
In the interview, Biden reiterated his position that an ongoing investigation by the state attorney general must be completed before any action is taken against the governor….
