The article critiques Andrew Cuomo's tenure as governor, emphasizing his mismanagement during the COVID-19 pandemic and arguing that his perceived experience is misleading. The author highlights Cuomo’s failure to effectively lead, pointing out his directives that led to higher death tolls, mishandling of rental assistance, and self-serving actions like writing a memoir while misusing government resources. The author warns that electing Cuomo as mayor would exacerbate New York City's existing challenges and calls for principled leadership in the face of current crises.
As a state legislator who served during Andrew Cuomo's governorship and witnessed its collapse up close, I know firsthand that sending Cuomo to City Hall will not solve New York City's challenges.
Many New Yorkers have a vision of Cuomo as an experienced statesman... But that vision is a mirage.
Cuomo was severely mismanaging the crisis. He directed staff to undercount the death toll and issued regulations to send sick patients into nursing homes.
That self-dealing and disregard for the vulnerable wasn't a bug-it was a key feature of Cuomo's approach to leadership.
