I didn't find time to watch Governor Cuomo's State of the State address, but I have been scanning Newzjunky the last day or so for highlights and haven't really seen where too much was said...This $3.6 billion convention center in Queens doesn't catch my fancy....nor does spending a billion on Buffalo.
There is no real talk of mandate relief or other issues of interest to me. There was a story about increasing the minimum wage again, but no reference to pension reform. There was talk of a commission on education, but what's that going to accomplish ?
The budget is yet to come and that may have more specifics. We will wait and see.

There were two versions.
His actual speech and the transcript.
In his actual speech Cuomo talked about the need for Tier 6.
Status Quo Mo round 2 more hot air , more pork , and MORE SUNY presidents!
Surprised to see Addie voice skepticism of Silver's call for a minimum wage hike. Evidently Addie has either started listening to local small business owners or is concerned about how redistricting could possibly lead to her getting a more difficult district.
how about a living wage? ten dollars per hour. anything less is an insult. do you want people to have money for the necessities? if the state retirement payouts were taxed, it would be a no-brainer.
