Governor Andrew Cuomo has screwed New York [View all]

Cuomo has signed a redistricting bill that favors Republicans at election time. A Democrat caving on this kind of crap is unacceptable.

IMO, Cuomo has his eye on the 2016 presidential primaries. Signing this bill will come back to haunt him.

Here's a link to a NY Times editorial on this topic.
