Here's an article rounding up the insidious nature of Cuomo's calculated policies from Sean McElwee and Stephen Wolf that was published this past Sunday:

Literal gop garbage man who is trying to unseat my medium-succ democrat governor takes a page from the Trump playbook and decides not to release his taxes because "gently caress you, that's why"

https://www.pennlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2018/08/wagner_says_he_doesnt_want_wor.html

quote:

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) -- Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Wagner said he will not release a tax return because his income is nobody else's business and he suggested that labor unions will use it to try to organize workers at the non-union waste-hauling business he owns.
...
If I make money or don't make money that's my business," Wagner told the questioner. "And you know what? If I disclose those tax returns, union representatives get a hold of my tax returns, go around to my employees' homes at night and say, 'Hey Mrs. Jones, how much does your husband make?' She goes, 'Well he makes this.' 'Well this guy makes a lot more.'"

Probably, most republicans in PA understand they need to pay lip service to unions or at least shut the gently caress up about it. Garbage man has spent his public and private career antagonizing them.

2014 was a disaster nationwide but Corbett going down really took the sting out of it for me. (Plus the sweep of Supreme Court seats).

Would have been nice to face Toomey in a year without :abuela: dragging down the ticket.

in retrospect Katie McGinty was really just a Hillary Clinton jr (i'm aware that Toomey was worse but he did a good job of painting her as a corrupt neolib shithead) and the worst person to run that year. John Fetterman might have won that senate seat had he won the nomination, instead now he's going to be in the most useless statewide elected office -lt. governor. I hope he does something more useful down the line with his statewide name recognition.

apparently Wyoming rejected the Trump-backed candidate for governor in the GOP primary and elected someone who isn't a carpetbagger instead. it probably means fuckall in the grand scheme of things though

i live here and this is very true. the only thing that keeps me going is that people are fed up with this poo poo and it's probably going to result in a dem-controlled senate that will weed out a lot of the flotsam in both parties

it's just as bad in other solid blue states like NJ and Mass. while the electorate in NJ is smarter, it's canceled out by the fact that their dem machine is even worse than NY's

pretty much. it's not that she's a bad democrat, she's got a solidly left-wing platform. but she's purely a protest candidate and it shows in her strategy

yeah, thats not to say her strategy is bad tho, its just that winning a gov primary as a grassroots upstart is much much harder than winning a congressional district or a state senate spot

A pollster called me about the assembly primary race in my district, which surprised me

It’s Ari Espinal, Catalina Cruz, and a dude named Yonel Lettellier Sosa.

Sosa sent me one mailer but has been a complete ghost otherwise. Espinal was handpicked by Moya to fill the seat and is kind of a pliant cog in the machine from what I can tell, she has a bunch of posters up though and has had labor volunteers out for her the past week. Cruz has a bunch of really devoted volunteers and is running the most energetic campaign - she knocked on my door and lives very close to me so I see her around a lot

Im leaning towards Cruz. A sign on her volunteers’ table the other day said Medicare for All so that’s good, and it would be a solid win against the machine

Edited to add - sorry thought this was the ny politics thread lol

Pretty much. Cuomo was a partner at the firm of Blutrich, Falcone & Miller. The firm had been founded by Mario Cuomo's friend and counsel Jerry Weiss, and most of the partners had ties to Mario, which meant it was the firm to hire if you wanted access to the Governor's Office. A bunch of New York City real estate developers, including Trump, hired them.

Actually, of all of the partners, Michael Blutrich is probably the most interesting. He helped a bunch of mobbed up clients commit insurance fraud, and then became coowner with them of a topless bar in Times Square called Scores, which then went on to become a money laundering operation. Eventually, he became an FBI informant and entered witness protection. Interesting story.
