The decades-long relationship between New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has never been noteworthy for its warmth
The decadeslong Cuomo and Schumer relationship has never been noteworthy for its warmth. But they’re like-minded politicians representing the same state, and when Cuomo speaks of New York’s highest ranking member of Congress these days, he all but grimaces.
Cuomo drubbed Schumer throughout March, calling the first $8 billion emergency federal funding package "ludicrous" and "disconnected from reality” for leaving New York with only $35 million. And so the senator, Cuomoland tells POLITICO, failed to protect a measure in the third federal relief bill that would have allowed some of Cuomo’s Medicaid reforms to go forward, reforms that Cuomo said would save the state $1.6 billion this year and more the next. Nor, they say, is the amount of Medicaid money that Schumer says he’s sending to New York State the actual amount of money in play, since it’s amortized over months, and the federal emergency order might not last that long.
