U.S. Lieutenant Governors

As long as there's the faith of New Yorkers that has been undermined by what the Trump administration doing is trying to give the appearance of holding the city hostage.

I am going by what the perception could be.

What he is doing is they've described it as flooding the zone.

I cannot let the integrity of the administration in the city of New York be undermined by perception that the Trump administration actually created.

We're not going to sit idly by and let our rights be attacked.

They do not tell us in New York what to do, nor does Washington when it comes to policies that we believe are going to reduce congestion.

I must be the firewall to stop that.

We are a nation of laws, and one individual, the governor of New York, should not use her voice and her will to override the will of the voters.

We are not allowing the Trump administration to interfere in the operations of our city.

I have a problem with that characterization, because we labored under a king 250 years ago, and as I said, we're not going back there.

Don't think that you can just come in and bully us around and not expect a reaction from governors.

I will always stand on the fact that we are a nation of laws.

What they're trying to do is create this theater of all kinds of activity that is trying to be a distraction to us.

New York hasn't labored under a king in over 250 years. We are not – we sure as hell are not going to start now.

We're starting this effort by more directly involving Californians in the LA firestorm response and recovery. As we recover, reimagine, and rebuild Los Angeles, we will do it together.

With this new initiative, the state will lead the nation in deliberative democracy, better ensuring decisions are centered on the people's voices.

California's comprehensive effort – utilizing effective and proven tools and strategies – have continually driven down crime rates and saved taxpayer money.

We are eternally grateful.

Make no mistake, Los Angeles will use this money wisely.

Los Angeles is one of the most economically productive places on the globe, but it can only rebound and flourish with support from the federal government as it recovers from this unprecedented disaster.

I support a full investigation at the state level.

I have serious questions about the long-term future of this mayoral administration.

'We are a nation of laws, not ruled by a king. We'll see you in court.'

The impacted communities have experienced widespread devastation and the total impact on California's economy will take years to fully qualify.
