Something odd is going on in New York.<\/div>\n

For reasons that are not clear to me, people are starting to go after Governor Andrew Cuomo, and I have no clue as to why.<\/p>\n

Case in point, the CEO of the Western New York Fair just revealed that a Cuomo staffer attempted to delay cleanup at the fair after a tornado<\/a>, because Cuomo wanted a telegenic platform for Cuomo to give a speech:<\/p>\n

Call it a collision of politics and good old Western New York<\/a> can-do attitude. <\/p>\n

The cleanup after the tornado that struck the Erie County Fairgrounds was well under way Thursday afternoon when an aide to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo<\/a> asked that the cleanup be delayed — until after the governor arrived, fair CEO Dennis Lang said. <\/p>\n

“I said, ‘You’re kidding, right?'” <\/p>\n

Lang said he told a Cuomo aide who asked him to keep debris in the area where the press conference would be held. “I just turned around and walked away.” <\/p>\n

Lang said he did not know the name of the man who asked for a delay. <\/p>\n

“After the ceremonial service was over, I haven’t seen any of them, nor do I expect to see any tomorrow and the day after tomorrow,” Lang said of state officials and National Guard, who were at the governor’s news conference.<\/p>\n

Cuomo’s office denied it requested the cleanup be delayed.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This sort of request is actually not that uncommon, but it is notable that someone is calling out the Cuomo administration about this.<\/p>\n

We’re also seeing the finger on the New York City Subway problems being pointed at him. (IMNSHO correctly)  <\/p>\n

It’s long overdue, but I am unclear as to why it is happening now.<\/p>\n
