... so naturally, the dissembling mental pygmy, Andrew Cuomo, blames it all on the weather! BWHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Ah, Andrew ... what a pathetic buffoon you truly are.
No, Andrew ... they're leaving because the vast majority of NY politicians, such as yourself, are corrupt, heavy-handed, incompetent assholes, who, over the years, have made their lives progressively worse. clo doesn't notice it because she's a clueless libtard, but her fellow New Yorkers aren't near as compliantly stupid as she is. The slave owners of the Democrat Plantation of New York are openly contemptuous of New Yorkers' Constitutional rights, levy oppressive taxes, enforce ever-increasing, overly burdensome regulations, and do everything within their power to instill the creation of a bad business climate that produces job losses. Hell, if it wasn't for President Trump's policies turning around the national economy, and helping New York in the process, New York would have to build new highways just to accommodate the massive exodus.
NY Governor blames weather for people fleeing state

With the primary election behind him, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo apparently felt safe enough to take a few rare questions from the local press yesterday. One pushy reporter had the audacity to ask the Governor about the large numbers of people fleeing the Empire State over the past several years and our expected loss of yet another congressional seat after the next census. Sticking to his usual form, Cuomo blew off any suggestion that the state Democrats' liberal policies were driving people away, instead blaming sinking population numbers on ... the weather.
Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo blamed the upstate weather for prompting New Yorkers to flee to other states.
Cuomo told reporters Tuesday that while job losses and high taxes once drove people to leave New York, his administration has ended that trend and improved the local economic situation.
He said many of the New Yorkers leaving the state now are doing so for personal reasons or decisions that he called "climate based."
The comments came after Cuomo's Republican challenger, Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro, said on Monday that Cuomo has failed to stem the number of New Yorkers leaving for states with lower taxes and more jobs.
Two things about the Governor's comments. First of all, "his administration" has not ended trends in population shifts, job losses or high taxes. They've actually exacerbated most of those factors. But the overall economy has been on such a tear that things have actually improved a bit in the upstate region. That's in spite of the Cuomo administration, not because of it. While there has been some situational property tax relief to keep the locals from completely rebelling, income tax, sales tax, school taxes, taxes on business and all the rest are just as bad. ...
