In a video showed at the W.F.P. convention last night, Cuomo expressed support for a number of key progressive initiatives, like allowing municipalities to raise their minimum wage, an issue he balked at previously.
When I pressed him about the video shown last night, Cuomo said that the change in the minimum wage he supports would be governed by a formula, which means it would be capped and regulated throughout the state.
“What we’re saying, [in] the video last night I said we have to recognize the difference in the cost of living in different markets and I would allow localities within a state-prescribed formula to adjust a local wage,” he said. “But not that the locality gets to set rate wherever they want. I’m against that. I was against it. I am against it.”

NY1’s Courtney Gross asked Cuomo to elaborate on his plans to help Democrats take control of the State Senate.
“Well first, let's take a little bit of context here, right?” Cuomo replied. “This is about electing people who support an agenda. I also will oppose Democrats who have opposed things that we have tried to pass."
