Gov’s Empire State of mind
A chef in his whites — minus the usual hat — served Kathy Hochul and me hot steak and iced wine.
Dinner was on the terrace surrounding Albany’s executive live-in mansion.
The third uninvited guest?
A nosy squirrel who kept running through the bushes.
It’s maybe consumed with the esprit de Cuomo who misses the place?
“No,” said the governor.

“Not him. Won’t be Cuomo.”
“Look, I’m here two days a week. Funny, when I arrived, originally Cuomo was still in this mansion. Right here. Hadn’t moved out. Be historic if he returned and had to move me out so he could move back in — and even with his same crew of people — but won’t happen.”
“Cuomo’s going for mayor. Can’t stop Cuomo from going for mayor. And no matter what anyone says about our current mayor he has done some good things. Could happen a candidate is some rich man — big money, wants importance, do good, get his name around — like maybe Ron Lauder . Or underestimated Long Island congressman Lee Zeldin . I’m more behind the scenes. I don’t get credit for things.”
