TOP STORY >>> DARK HORSE CANDIDATE: Could Mayor Mike Spano Be A Contender To Be The Governor Of New York?
POLITICO: The Democrats who could take Cuomo’s place
ALBANY, N.Y. — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been declared politically dead before, but this time the challenges facing him are steeper. For the first time in 12 years, the Democratic governor looks vulnerable for his next election — if he runs at all.
Even if Cuomo survives scandals related to sexual harassment and nursing home deaths and decides to seek a fourth term in 2022, he probably won’t be able to scare away experienced primary challengers as he has in the past. And, of course, there’s a chance he’ll simply abandon his plans to seek a fourth term…..

LOL… Yorktown Councilwoman Alice Roker Calls Developers’ Proposal “Yonkers North”
TAP INTO: Four-Story Building Replacing Kmart Would be Among Yorktown’s Tallest
YORKTOWN, N.Y. – A new mixed-used building with 150 rental units is being proposed for Yorktown Heights—emphasis on the Heights.
At 52 feet, the building slated to replace Kmart would be among the tallest buildings in town, if the plan to reinvigorate the mostly vacant Yorktown Green Shopping Center comes together as envisioned.
The 216,000-square-foot building—with 6,000 square feet of retail space beneath three stories of one- and two-bedroom units—would have roughly the same footprint as Kmart but would more than double in height. The Kmart building is 22 feet tall while the new apartment building would be 57 feet tall at the apex of its sloped roof (town code measures building height to the middle of a roof, so 52 feet is the official height)…..

USA TODAY: Andrew Cuomo refuses to resign as NY Senate leader says he should step down
ALBANY – New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo defiantly refused calls for his resignation on Sunday as the two most powerful state lawmakers suggested he should at least consider stepping down amid dual scandals that have engulfed his administration.
Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, D-Yonkers, called for the Democratic governor’s resignation Sunday afternoon, marking a significant escalation in the effort by some to convince Cuomo to quit after five women publicly accused him of inappropriate behavior and his administration withheld the true COVID-19 death toll in nursing homes for months.
Her statement was quickly followed up by Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, D-Bronx, who stopped just short of saying Cuomo should quit, but said he should “seriously consider whether he can effectively meet the needs of the people of New York”….
