New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo did not hold back in his grandiose unveiling of his vision for a $306 billion statewide infrastructure plan during his State of the State address Thursday, invoking Shakespeare, Mark Twain and former state Govs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt and DeWitt Clinton of New Deal and Erie Canal fame, respectively.
But he did hold back details, opting instead to broadly reiterate in his fourth State of the State speech this week that New York will climb out of this pandemic and its economic fallout by building bigger and better and laying the foundation for our future with a priority of expanding access to mass transit.

A leading Republican candidate for governor, well-connected lawyer and longtime power player in Warren County politics, Doug Steinhardt, and people close to him have bypassed state pay-to-play laws while winning more than $10 million in government contracts in the past decade.
The small group of donors, which includes Steinhardt s replacement as chairman of the state Republican Party, contributed more than half of the $250,000 total raised by the independent group Leadership PAC for Better Government since it formed in 2011, according to an analysis of campaign finance records.
At the same time, those records show Leadership PAC has regularly donated to, and supported, the Warren County Republican Committee under Steinhardt’s control and local candidates with authority to award contracts.
