Cuomo Vows New York Will Lead Nation With Progressive Agenda (https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Governor-Andrew-Cuomo-Inaugural-Ellis-Island-Speech-Third-Term-NY-503773581.html)
A bold claim from a state that has citizens fleeing it because of high taxes.
Sounding like the presidential candidate he insists he is not, Gov. Andrew Cuomo unleashed an energetic attack against President Donald Trump's policies Tuesday, pledging New York will lead the nation forward with the most progressive agenda in state history.
The Democrat began 2019 and his third term with the inaugural address on Ellis Island, saying "America's only threat is from within."
Cuomo said that within the first 100 days of his new term, he will propose "the most progressive agenda this state has ever seen, period."
"We will make history and New York will move forward, not by building a wall, my friends, but by building new bridges," he said, apparently making a reference to the political fight over a wall on the Mexican border.
