Prodigal Conservative Cuomo Splurges On Irene, While Liberal Vermonters Proceed Frugally

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Plattsburgh, New York, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) September 16, 2011 -- The blog CuomoTARP.blogspot.com latest post, "Prodigal Conservative Cuomo Splurges On Irene, While Liberal Vermonters Proceed Frugally" contrasts the responses in Vermont and New York to the damage caused by Hurricane Irene. The blog compares the approach of Andrew Cuomo, a so-called fiscal conservative, against the approach of the liberal Vermont Governor and Senate President.

The blog uses quotes concerning the reopening Rt. 73 in the Adirondacks, where Cuomo said no need to, "borrow any money to pay for the cleanup and recovery." Cuomo showed his toughness and leadership qualities with "people jump when the governor says jump" and "either wheels are going to roll or heads are going to roll." Cuomo overruled the civil engineers after, "initial analysis projected the repairs taking two months" and in 7 days, Rt. 73 reopened..

While the Liberals speaking in Vermont said, "I think the worst thing that we could do for policy-wise or as a state government is to go in and throw money after something where we really haven't made a full assessment in doing that. I think that's where you end up throwing good money after bad." Governor Shumlin says sorting out the costs and who ends up paying for what could take months. "We're in a long marathon here, not a sprint,"

The blog asks what the voters will think after the bills are paid. "Will they want more of Shumlin and Campbell's liberal frugality or Cuomo's conservative prodigal style?

The blog concludes with a note to Cuomo which included:
1. Bye, bye, balanced New York State budget.
4. Where are you or the counties or the towns going to get the money? The tooth fairy doesn't have that 25% share.
5. Did you ask why civil engineers would allow time for compaction of fill material?
6. Overtime and double overtime is expensive and a wise man does his arithmetic.
7.Are these roads just going to be rebuilt in the Spring, because of haste now?
