A Second Term

(NY Times)

          In what some might call a large victory, Governor Andrew Cuomo was reelected yesterday with just less than a 14 point lead. Which compared to his original victory is not a landslide by any means.

* Incumbent

           "We are just getting started," Said Governor Cuomo last night in a Manhattan hotel ballroom. This is another chance for him to show what he can get done. In his last term he was credited to stopping property tax increases, numerous victories in legalizing same-sex marriages, and tightening gun control laws.

           Now in this upcoming term he has his sights on rebuilding infrastructure, creating upstate New York jobs, improving our public school systems, and even going as far as modernizing some airports. In the wake of his reelection he has an egar eye ahed says reporter Thomas Kaplan from the NY Times.  Putting it more directly Cuomo Said "Keep this state moving forward."

           On the other side of the tabel we had oponent Rob Asorino in White Plains, NY. Saying he pondered whether the Governor had "heard some of the cries of New Yorkers." With election booths closed its safe to say both candidates are better now that the battle is over.
