At a Buffalo appearance to encourage Covid-19 vaccinations on Thursday, a reporter asked Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo about his ability to govern and maneuver New York s political shoals amid continuing calls for his impeachment or resignation.
His answer was not hypothetical, he replied, especially after just wrapping up a $212 billion state budget for 2021-22.

There is no greater test of the premise. If you re going to have trouble governing . it would be in the budget.
