Andrew Cuomo Is One Of Many Bad Apples In A Rotten System

August 13, 2021 Tatiana Cozzarelli, Left Voice. Educate! Andrew Cuomo, Joe Biden, New York (NY), Sexual Assault

Andrew Cuomo has resigned as governor of New York one week after a damning report confirmed that he had sexually assaulted multiple women. The report that came out August 3 highlights that Cuomo sexually assaulted 11 women, and describes efforts by his staff to discredit the accusers. He is now facing criminal charges in relation to one of these assaults. He responded with a bizarre video of him kissing people on the cheek, denying any wrongdoing. But the official report was too much to be ignored — the Democratic Party, including President Joe Biden, quickly turned against him and he was forced to resign. Even now, Cuomo has refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing. He said, “In my mind, I’ve never crossed the line with anyone but I didn’t realize the extent to which the line has been redrawn.”

Cuomo’s Nursing Home Scandal Vindicates His Critics In The Press

February 21, 2021 Ari Paul, Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting. Educate! Andrew Cuomo, COVID-19, Media, New York (NY)

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s moment as the “hero” of the Covid-19 crisis is fading, with revelations (New York Times, 2/12/21) that his administration covered up the scope of the coronavirus death toll in the state’s nursing homes, as one Cuomo aide “admitted that the state had withheld data because it feared an investigation by the Trump Justice Department.” The anger at the governor is bipartisan; legislators on both sides of the aisle are discussing curtailing his powers, and even impeachment (City and State, 2/12/21). It seems like yesterday when Cuomo, the son of legendary New York Gov. Mario Cuomo, was in the spotlight as the leader who rose to the occasion in cinematic fashion.

Gates is best known for one thing in education: charter schools.

In an op-ed explaining why it was necessary to risk arrest to save the planet from climate change, Hawkins describes five decades of activism that has included civil disobedience for clean energy, against carbon energy as well as against nuclear energy.

Watch: Environmentalists Confront Cuomo’s ‘Energy Czar’

September 27, 2017 Peter Rugh, www.indypendent.org Resist! Andrew Cuomo, Environment, New York (NY), Protests

By Peter Rugh for Indypendent - When it comes to environmental champions in the United States, you might think of Rachel Carson laboring away at Silent Spring in the early 1960s. Maybe present day climate and environmental justice groups come to mind, like Uprose and 350.org. You’ve got it all wrong. Today’s ecological changemakers wear sports coats, have lanyards around their necks and hope to eek greenbacks out of green energy in the years to come. At least that’s the impression one might get from attending REV Future 2017 at the Marriott in Downtown Brooklyn, where a host of representatives from renewable energy start-ups and New York State regulators gathered on Tuesday to plot the future of New York’s energy grid. “REV” stands for Reforming Energy Vision, Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s blueprint to reduce the state’s emissions by 80 percent from 1990 levels by 2050. The folks at Rev Future really do have the power to transform New York’s energy supply under the current REV schema, as outlined by Cuomo’s “Energy Csar” Richard Kauffman — Chair of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). Kauffman’s plan includes the creation of renewable energy markets and a green bank to finance new clean energy programs.

Cuomoville Three Day Camp-Out Begins At Cuomo NYC Office

June 14, 2017 Staff for Metropolitan Council on Housing, www.PopularResistance.org Resist! Andrew Cuomo, Housing, Rent control

By Staff for Metropolitan Council on Housing. We are camping out in front of Governor Cuomo's office to demand that he stop siding with real estate developers and start standing with New Yorkers! For too long Governor Cuomo has been selling out tenants. He's given a $2.4 billion tax break to developers so they can pretend to build affordable housing while in reality they kick out low and middle-income New Yorkers, who are predominantly people of color. Governor Cuomo's housing agenda isn't helping tenants, it's hurting us... and we've had ENOUGH. Its time to press the Governor to stand with us. If you can join us for any part of the three day camp-out and actions listed above, contact ava@metcouncilonhousing.org, or RSVP on Facebook

January 18, 2017 Mia Summerson, www.niagara-gazette.com Resist! Andrew Cuomo, New York (NY), Pipelines, Protests

By Mia Summerson for Niagara Gazette - AMHERST — Locals who have been vocally opposed to the construction of a natural gas pipeline and related structures in Niagara Country attempted to get their message to Gov.

The Northern Access Pipeline, proposed by National Fuel, includes constructing a pipeline between Wheatfield and Pendleton...

Cuomo Proposes Tuition Free College For Middle Class

January 4, 2017 From Press Room, www.governor.ny.gov Create! Andrew Cuomo, Bernie Sanders, Education, Free College, Tuition

From Press Room of Governor Andrew Cuomo. The Green Party of NY, in a press release, responded to Cuomo’s tuition plan and called it inadequate, really a fraud by a false progressive: “The Green Party of New York called the Cuomo tuition-plan unveiled today wholly inadequate and said the reports of it making college free or affordable-for-all were false. The Greens pointed out that Cuomo’s plan does not cover the $14,000 in yearly room, board and fees and would still leave students with $55,000 worth of debt from SUNY/CUNY 4-year schools. Party officers also said that it does nothing to address three decades worth of funding cuts at state schools. The Green Party called on Governor Cuomo and the Legislature to fully fund state schools and make college completely free, including tuition, room, board and fees so that students leave with no debt.
