In his first act as governor-elect, Andrew Cuomo just issued a press release saying he wouldn't mind sopping up some federal money from other states.
Cuomo wrote a letter to Transportation Secretary Ray Lahood asking to be considered if newly-elected governors in Ohio and and Wisconsin turn down the money, as they've pledged to do.
"High speed rail is critical to building the foundation for future economic growth, especially Upstate. If these Governors-Elect follow through on their promises to cancel these projects, a Cuomo Administration would move quickly to put the billions in rejected stimulus funding towards projects that would create thousands of good jobs for New Yorkers," Cuomo said in the release.
