Cuomo State Of Mind

As expected, Little Andy declared a mandate:

"The mandate tonight is to clean up Albany and to have elected officials who represent the people of this state and not the special interests and not the lobbyists," Cuomo told a cheering crowd.

...

Cuomo promised to attack the deficit without raising taxes. He and his No. 2, Robert Duffy, have challenged public employee unions with calls to cap state spending and property taxes, slice Medicaid and education funding, reduce the workforce and freeze state worker salaries.

But read his lips - no new taxes on hedge fund managers.

You can be sure the education cuts will all come from classrooms, not from DOE data systems and central accountability and assessment coordinators.

Class sizes of 40?

45?

Whew - gonna get bad until someone Spitzers Little Andy.

Given what an arrogant asshole Cuomo is, I am confident that WILL happen eventually.
