Hope the governor's staff brings it to his attention quickly. We are desperate. I wonder if contacting Chris Cuomo at CNN would increase the chances that Governor Andrew Cuomo would get the word. Journalists are always seeking new info. Andrew and Chris are brothers, sons of a prior NY governor, Mario Cuomo.

You can reach Chris by entering "Contact Chris Cuomo" in a search. That is the name of a website that allows you to leave him a message. The site requires you to give your contact info.
