2018 NY Governor's race: on Technology


Andrew Cuomo: Aggressive construction program on Tappan Zee Bridge

The first and only Democratic primary debate between Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his opponent Cynthia Nixon covered a lot of topics of interest for New York City residents. Geographically, the furthest upstate the debate got was the Tappan Zee Bridge.

"The Tappan Zee Bridge as I mentioned-- we have the most aggressive construction program in the United States. We're doing more construction than at any time since Robert Moses believe it or not," said Cuomo.

Other candidates for governor, like the Green Party's Howie Hawkins, took notice. "Most of the debate was about New York City. Those of us upstate were wondering if we're watching an election about where we live," said gubernatorial candidate Howie Hawkins.

Marc Molinaro: Vows to repair infrastructure by cutting through red tape

Governor Cuomo has ignored our transit systems across the state, leaving them derelict and in disrepair. By cutting through red tape and bureaucracy, Marc Molinaro will get our public transit working again.

Cynthia Nixon: Infrastructure decimated by tax breaks given to corporations

"Andrew Cuomo has given massive tax breaks to corporations and the super rich while starving the state and its cities of the most basic services and decimating our infrastructure," Nixon wrote on her campaign site. "His inhumane budgets have been passed on the backs of our children, our working and middle class, and our elderly."
