NEW YORK (AP) - New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo spent his second-to-last day in office projecting an image that he is still in control, and still fully engaged as the state dealt with heavy rain from Tropical Storm Henri.
The Democrat, who is set to resign at the end of the day Monday, appeared at a televised briefing Sunday surrounded by top state officials involved in the state’s storm response.
Absent from the briefing was Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul, who is set to become governor in the first seconds of Tuesday morning.
“The lieutenant governor has been briefed on all of this and we’re in constant communication,” Cuomo said.
Asked if he still planned to leave office as planned, Cuomo said “Yes, my final day is tomorrow.”
He said he asked his emergency management team that if any were thinking of leaving their jobs Tuesday, and not joining the new administration, that they stay in place “for the good of the state” until the storm crisis had passed.
Hochul’s spokespeople didn’t immediately respond to a question about her whereabouts. She did weigh in on the storm on Twitter, saying, “My team and I are continuing to closely monitor #Henri.”

Why the dilly-dallying, he should have resigned already.
Bye now arsehole.
I’d feel real peachy about all of this, but I also know his replacement will be even worse.
The storm is coming but I am still resigning. Okay? Not gonna change my mind, so don’t even ask. I’m gone. A team of wild horses couldn’t make me stay. Nope.
Maybe that’s why elected Dems harrass and abuse staff: it gives them a safe exit when they resign to prevent or put off prosecution for larger crimes.
Response:
Strip him of all of his medals. Tear his rank off of his shoulders. Break his sword across your knee...and send this POS out into the storm that is Henri!
The End. :)

I’m still in command dealing with a windy rainy day.
These little town blues
They've all melted away
I'm gonna make a brand new start of it
In old New York
“Storm”??? LMAO- there’s been some rain and no wind here in Westchester...nice try il duce’
I know, there isn’t anyone in that RAT state that isn’t corrupt. Maybe the next corruptocrat won’t be as arrogant as Andrew.
Hochul is harmless...the AG that took him out will probably win next year....she’s a full-blown commie
Democrats extremist are taking out anyone powerful enough to stop them...
