Green’s Swipe at Cuomo on Federal Record May Backfire

Just looking at NY1’s Inside City Hall video from yesterday and besides busting NYS AG candidate Andrew Cuomo as an empty suit with nothing but the Cuomo name, Mark Green also dismissed Cuomo’s record as federal housing secretary under Bill Clinton.

This may simply prompt the 125th St denizen to get out on the hustings and say very convincingly and effectively (as always) that Cuomo did all these great things for NYC and other upstate metro areas like Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse. “Housing” is almost always on the list of priorities of base Dem constituencies, and federal stats can be “massaged” to say or purport almost any desired perception.

Regardless, Green’s comments, and their tenor, show where this race is headed.
