All eyes should be on Albany where the Working Families Party is gearing up to have a vote on who to endorse for governor. The word is that Andrew Cuomo has struck a deal, but there is a lot of resistance inside the hall. What’s in the deal? I’m hearing a hike in the minimum wage and an agreement to fight for Democratic control of the state Senate. Earlier, I heard it was about public funding of campaigns.
If these folks were really smart, they’d nominate someone other than Cuomo who would have a shot at coming in second place ahead of the Republicans. That could knock the Republican Party down the ballot in future elections and also cause them to lose control of some county election boards.
It doesn’t look like that is about to happen, though, unfortunately.
