Calculus, chaos, Cuomo

Calculus, chaos, Cuomo An opinion column It was just one month before COVID shut the world down in 2020 and tempers were short in New York’s state Capitol. I don’t remember exactly why the governor and legislature were sniping back and forth, but I do recall sitting down for a mid-February meeting with one of Governor Cuomo’s top policy people. “I know it’s chaos around here,” I said to her, sympathetically. “Thank you for taking the time to meet with me.” “Hey, It is chaos,” she shrugged. “That’s the way the boss likes it.” *** Andrew Cuomo strolled to the…
