Andrew Cuomo on Budget & Economy

2002 Democratic Challenger NY Governor

Upstate economy will be a priority, not "caboose"

Cuomo delivered energetic speeches in which he lambasted Pataki for failing to improve the upstate economy. The governor has "taken the Empire State and made it the caboose on the economic train," said Cuomo, who promised, if elected, to make 2003 the year "the Empire State strikes back."
