Andrew Cuomo at New York State Attorney General Candidates Forum

"The New York League of Conservation Voters (NYLCV) and the School of Public Affairs (SPA) co-sponsored a forum with the candidates for New York State Attorney General on October 3, 2006 at Baruch College. The event was co-hosted by Marcia Bystryn, Executive Director of the NYLCV, and Professor Doug Muzzio at SPA, and organized by Barbara Fife, Director of External Affairs for SPA. Candidate Jeanine Pirro gave a detailed recital of her environmental record as Westchester County District Attorney, and voiced her commitment to “advancing federal issues” in New York State, and shared her environmental vision for the State. Candidate Andrew Cuomo, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President Clinton, argued that the old dichotomy ‘between protecting the environment and growing the economy” was false and obsolete and that a progressive government could do both.
