In Turnaround, Cuomo Loses

Upstate That He Won In 2010

SYRACUSE – Tuesday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo lost 43 Upstate counties, including Otsego.  He won only eight, according to an analysis from the Syracuse Post-Standard.  In 2010, he won 37 Upstate counties, including Otsego, and lost only 13.

“Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo ran for a second term as the first state leader in decades who paid attention to Upstate New York,” the Post-Standard reported.  “But on Tuesday, Upstate voters did not love Cuomo back, according to unofficial returns.”

Editorial: Timely guidance?

Editorial: Timely guidance? New Yorkers learned late December 6 exactly which hospitals around the state would be subject to Governor Kathy Hochul’s Executive Order limiting certain elective surgeries and procedures beginning roughly 36 hours later, on December 9. The order initially exploded out of Albany seemingly moments after South Africa’s first report of Covid-19’s Omicron variant.
