Governor Cuomo’s Last Farewell

Posted on August 23, 2021 by John Bailey

Dear John,

Tonight, as you may be aware, I am stepping down as Governor of New York at 11:59pm. Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul will become governor, and we all wish her success. So I want to send my final note to you as governor.

New York’s future is based on what we have accomplished together, and during my tenure we’ve shown that New York has a spirit that reaches for the skies.

We have worked to make New York the progressive capital of the nation.

From passing Marriage Equality and the $15 minimum wage to enacting Paid Family Leave and the NY SAFE Act, from building new bridges and airports to combating climate change, from fighting against hate to fighting COVID—together we did what no one thought could be done.

We didn’t get everything done that we wanted to, and we didn’t always get it quite right, but I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that every day I worked my hardest, I gave it my all, to deliver for you.

Thank you for empowering me to fight for you. Thank you for your trust in me through COVID.

Thank you for the honor of serving you.

And never forget: Always stay New York tough, smart, united, disciplined and loving. It’s the essence of what makes New Yorkers so special.

Ever Upward,

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo

He said the villages of Maroneck Bronxville and Rye City experienced flooding. Latimer reported as of 2 PM 583 persons were without power . Con Ed customers without juce were primarily in Hastings on Hudson and the rest of the outages were in New York State Electric and Gas powered areas from Pound Ridge to Cortlandt. He said most Con Ed customers should be restored by nightfall.

When asked by a reporter, Latimer said the county police had done a very efficient job of closing highways early on Sunday anticipating the flooding that would occur. They did not have to perform any rescues. Though flooding of the Mamaroneck River caused 3 people to be evacuated from their home and housed overnight.
