Statement from Governor Andrew M. Cuomo

“NYPIRG’s (New York Public Interest Research Group) report is further evidence that we cannot wait on passing real reforms to our election system. The buildup of over 100,000 campaign finance violations over the last two years is unacceptable, and a clear sign that the current self-policing system at the Board of Elections does not work. The people of New York deserve an independent enforcement unit to pursue these violations and protect the integrity of our democratic system. Now more than ever there is no excuse for delay. The common sense reforms I have proposed give district attorneys the power to aggressively pursue corruption, create fairer elections, expand the voter registration process, and improve ballot access must be passed this session.”

As Congress returns to Washington to confront the federal government’s significant fiscal challenges, the members of the House of Representatives cannot and must not ignore the critical needs still facing New Yorkers, and our entire region, in the wake of Sandy. The President has emphatically endorsed our region’s request for aid and the Senate voted to move the package forward with bi-partisan support. A final vote of approval is expected today.

Statement from Governor Andrew M. Cuomo on Anniversary of September 11th Attacks

"On this day, we mark the eleventh anniversary of the terror attacks that claimed thousands of lives and truly changed New York and our nation forever. On this day, we honor the memories and the lives of those who were killed and the families who will never forget them. We also honor the first responders who bravely put themselves in harm’s way – many of whom never returned home.

"It is also our obligation and our duty to make sure that we will always remember. As a new generation grows up without having witnessed the horror of September 11th, it is important to educate our children so they can understand the tragedy that unfolded on that day, the bravery and courage of our first responders, and the outpouring of goodwill in communities across New York and America as we recovered as one state and one nation."
