Corona Cuomo: Chris Denton offers a very direct response to Governor Andrew Cuomo in the form of “An Ode to the People of Upstate New York.”

The upstate farmers are dumping their milk because there is no market. Cuomo does nothing. Cuomo says upstate didn’t vote for him.
Cuomo’s bill passes to force rural towns to accept 700 foot high wind turbines even though they clear cut mountain tops, destroy the scenic beauty, create no permanent jobs, cause brain damage, kill birds, bats, and eagles upstate, and all the power goes to New York City. Cuomo says upstate didn’t vote for him.
The Hamptons Towns (celebrity friends of Cuomo) are guaranteed wind turbine free on Long Island. Cuomo says upstate didn’t vote for him.
Cuomo’s bill passes to force rural towns to accept 1000 acre solar plants for New York City power even though it uses the best farmland and cuts down trees. Cuomo says upstate didn’t vote for him.
Cuomo says that if Upstate doesn’t agree with his energy policies he will take their land by Eminent Domain. Cuomo says upstate didn’t vote for him.
Cuomo directs his DEC commissioner to block all natural gas lines in upstate because his New York City activists despise natural gas. Cuomo says upstate didn’t vote for him.
Cuomo’s bill banning fracking in upstate passes, thereby destroying another upstate natural resources industry. Cuomo says upstate didn’t vote for him.
New York City is not required to recycle their waste, they send it all upstate. Cuomo says upstate didn’t vote for him.
Cuomo threatens to use the New York State National Guard to take our hospitals’ ventilators, masks, and medicines for New York City leaving Upstate vulnerable. Cuomo says upstate didn’t vote for him.
New York City’s criminals are housed upstate, their homeless are sent on a one way bus ticket to upstate towns and cities, and New York City’s Landlord Tenant laws are made applicable to rural upstate. Cuomo says upstate didn’t vote for him.
Upstate casinos bleed upstate’s hard earned wages for out of town investors. Cuomo says upstate didn’t vote for him.
Delaware River, Neversink and Esopus Creek, so much of their water gone to New York City. Cuomo says upstate didn’t vote for him.
Upstate has four nuclear reactors which are carbon free and provide jobs for upstate. Cuomo wants to shut them down. Cuomo says upstate didn’t vote for him.
Cuomo says we can leave anytime now.
Cuomo says we didn’t vote for him.
We say: Cuomo, you can leave anytime now.

I think the State will see less supportive Federal Funding for these bully disrespectful stands. Much Less. This time of recovery is “no time for politics” as we have heard again and again. I guess it is easy to say but hard to do. Hopefully things will come around.
Cuomo wants no one to own a gun. Cuomo says upstate didn’t vote for him.
Cuomo as always, gets his way. Therefore, why do we even have a Legislative Branch in NY State? Regardless of party affiliation or where they sit on the political spectrum, our Assemblymembers and Senators are useless. So let’s just dissolve it. Think about how much money the taxpayers would save on a part time job that has full time support staff? Between their medical and pensions alone, maybe NY would be in the black financially?
As King Arthur adamantly said to the peasants in Monty Python and the Holy Grail..”You don’t vote for Kings!!!!”
R u effin serious?
Monty python!?
As if we r walkin around with a bring out ur dead wheel barrow and a bunch of monks banging their heads on boards?!!
Have u concidered ur the odd one? The one thats beating a cat on the wall…
We have legislation so that people who quote monty python and the holy grail in politics dont win cuz they have the time to quote british comedies to support politicians!
As a parent, of safe (due to cuomos on-top-of-stuff rules) children, please, please, stop talking. It incourages other morons – i mean people- to go against rules… The health and safety rules to keep everyone safe. Whats the point in breaking rules if its for all the wrong reasons.
Who wins then?
Get back in your “safe” smug little cuomo cocoon, troll.
That dictatorial thug is the enemy of upstate and is only good at shutting things down.
You obviously never have met Cuomo or seen him in action operating in his “habit”. Billions, and I mean Billions of dollars been wasted over vanity projects that serve little or nothing to the populace he is supposed to serve. It is the other way around. The new Tappan Zee Bridge is costing close to twice what he bragged it would be and still has yet to be paid for. The New York State Fair parking lot costs over 25 million when it was supposed to be only about 15 million. Medicaid costs have risen over 6 Billion and close to half of that is deferred interest. Millions of dollars that were meant for ventilators and other PPE were hijacked for a failed solar panel project. Shall I go on???
Open your eyes, you are not safe with all those convicts he let loose and “catch and release” law enforcement.
Think for yourself, if you can.
cuomo elevated Home Rule to mythical status to ban fracking and has now completely discarded it to force wind and solar on us.
This is unadulterated Hunger Games tyranny folks.
