The governor just send out a New Year’s letter in an email to supporters today through his re-election campaign.
Not much about the scandals that have rocked his administration, but a lot of well wishing and hope for the future.
“For me, this time of year is a time for reflection,” he writes. “As I think about the year that has passed, I can’t help but remember that moment nearly a year ago when I woke up on a cold New Year’s morning and joined hundreds of friends and supporters on a jog through the crisp Albany air.”
“They say that invention is 90% perspiration and 10% inspiration. That pre-dawn jog and the year that followed had more than its share of both. Along the way, we’ve learned hard lessons and made real strides to renew the promise of New York for families in every corner of this state who want a better life.”
He also talks about what he views are his successes:
“Together, we’ve been able to expand access to health insurance and lower class size for children across New York State. We’ve begun to tackle out-of-control property taxes and bring jobs and economic vitality back to cities across upstate. We’ve made investments in stem cell research that may someday yield new cures for diseases like Alzheimer’s, diabetes and Lou Gehrig’s disease. ”
