"I don’t know people who don’t say, boy the government is working better now." ― Andrew Cuomo Topic(s): Government More From Andrew Cuomo "People go into politics because they want the affirmation, and they want the applause." "New York State is upside down and backwards; high taxes and low performance. The New York State government was at one time a national model. Now, unfortunately, it’s a national disgrace. Sometimes, the corruption in Albany could even make Boss Tweed blush." "Climate change is a controversial subject, right? People will debate whether there is climate change… that’s a whole political debate that I don’t want to get into. I want to talk about the frequency of extreme weather situations, which is not political."

And both the trust and the trustees are created for the benefit of the people."― Henry Clay "How can you look at the Texas legislature and still believe in intelligent design?"― Kinky Friedman
