- Sinking Ship? Cuomo's Boat Post On Facebook Draws Tens Of Thousands Of (Many Snarky) Comments
-
Be ready to click to the Facebook post we linked at the top of this entry. Here's the "snarky" comment that caught our attention in the report:
“Anyone else notice that plate on the trailer?,” one posted. “Yeah he doesn't want to pay NY state $300 yearly trailer plate taxes either. So he's got out of state plates where you can get lifetime plates for a one time fee of $300. Way to go Cuomo, cheating NYS taxes...”
According to the report, several hundred other viewers have made a similar observation. The license plate on Governor Cuomo's boat trailer was issued by the state of Ohio. The particular plate design was first issued in 2010. In 2010, Governor Cuomo was serving as New York's Attorney General, which lasted until 1 January 2011, when he was sworn in as New York's 56th governor. The presence of this license plate on his boat trailer would mean that at whatever time he decided to skirt New York's annual state trailer taxes by licensing the boat trailer in Ohio, he was an elected New York state official and possibly even the governor of the state. He has likely believed the rules for little people don't apply to him for a very long time.
The Facebook post features the following comment from Governor Cuomo:
First coat of primer...the end is in sight. Still no sign of the daughter...
We don't know which of his daughters to whom he is referring, but considering he went out of his way to drop $1 million of his controversial pandemic "leadership" book deal money into a trust for them, not to mention geting special COVID testing for one of his daughters just last month, you would think they would be more prompt.
That last bit may be considered "snarky" by the Daily Voice's standards, but note that Governor Cuomo has a talent for shooting own goals that makes delivering this kind of "snark" to laugh at the Governor's tone-deafness all too easy.
