FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Statement from NYGOP Chairman Nick Langworthy on Day 2 of Cuomo’s
State of the State Address
January 12, 2021
“Another day, another tone-deaf, dishonest speech from the governor. We don’t need more government to rebuild the economy, we need government to get out of the way. It’s stunning that nearly a year after we have been battling this virus, the governor is only now talking about the importance of keeping our economy open and needing a plan to expand rapid testing. Making broadband affordable is great, but what good is affordability if we lack the infrastructure in so many underserved communities?
“Covid has put a focus on New York’s vulnerabilities, that as governor, Andrew Cuomo bears responsibility for. He has spent his tenure wasting billions on failed, corrupted vanity projects and playing national politics instead of doing the fundamental work that would make New York strong and competitive.
“New Yorkers know from experience that his words today are just more hollow rhetoric that will result in broken promises and inaction.”
