(NY-CUOMO) State will pay $325,000 to cover food truck's legal bill
The Times Union ^ | 7/21/2018 | Casey Seiler

The Wandering Dago, owned by Andrea Loguidice, filed suit in August 2013 against several OGS officials, including Commissioner RoAnn Destito and Executive Deputy Commissioner Joe Rabito, as well as the New York Racing Association, which ejected the truck from the Saratoga Race Course in July of that year. NYRA, which at the time of the Wandering Dago's ouster was under state control, quietly reached a $68,500 settlement with the truck's owners in 2015.

While "dago" is an anti-Italian slur, Loguidice has said she chose the truck's name as a tribute to her ancestors, laborers who were paid "as the day goes." After the suit was filed, Gov. Andrew Cuomo called the truck's moniker "obviously offensive" and praised the decision to ban it from the plaza.

Cuomo's ridiculous PC is wasting taxpayer dollars - he is a kook governor and a bum. This is government abuse and Cuomo should personally pay the $325,000 - this is shameful.

I believe that he was truly offended. But even if he wasn’t offended (yah I know, hear me out), he would have to go full fainting couch for his SJW constituency, which has the same total disdain for Free Speech and individual enterprise as he does.

If the same kind of situation presents itself again, he’ll act and speak in exactly the same manner, actively ignoring this precedent (and that of “The Slants” or whatever that Asian (Vietnamese?) musical group was).

Nope, but there was also a GOP party in NYS back then to run dad out of town, now there is none.

Look at his eyes....he’s insane. Probably one of the original MK ULTRA zombies that are controlled and beholden to Deep State. This clown is as nutty as they come....typical insane lib. Has no place in a position of govt. power.

There was a restaurant up in the Tejon Pass on Rt 5 called “Okie Girl”. The owner tried to get a highway sign and the State of California declared it to be a slur against Oklahomans.

The number of Okies who came forward and said they were proud of the name was amazing, and this little tiff ended when the governor of Oklahoma chimed in and said basically he and everyone in his state was proud to be an Okie.

(unfortunately I think the place has closed).

Looking forward to an Indian food truck named WOG to get caught up in the mix.

If somebody offers me a glass of Dago Red, I'll drink it.

Dang. I forgot to listen to "Ludlow Kissel and the Dago Bomb That Struck Back" on July 4th.

Judge D’Agostino has “dago” in his name. Isn’t that racist?

Near us is the “Pho King Restaurant”. It wasn’t until just recently that I learned it is pronounced “fa” - not “foo”.

Also nearby is an Asian restaurant called “The Frying Fish”.

I’m guessing that they know they are being funny?

“What - my name Wang. I’m big. What so funny?!”

When they say “State”, they mean Taxpayers who live in the State.
