Re: Passing of Former Governor Mario Cuomo
"Governor Cuomo was a true statesman, a gifted public speaker, and a dedicated public servant whose many accomplishments were matched only by his commitment to the people of New York. His legacy will live-on through all that he achieved during three terms as Governor, but also through his talented children, including Governor Andrew Cuomo. I offer my condolences to the entire Cuomo family tonight."
