Teachout snubs Cuomo, won’t endorse him for a second term

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 28 Oktober 2014 | 17.08

Looking like a Blues Brother, re-election favorite Gov. Cuomo donned dark glasses — of the 3-D variety — to watch a special technology presentation at Mineola Middle School Monday to promote his $2 billion Smart Schools Bond Act.

Cuomo visited the Long Island school with Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt and Mineola Schools Superintendent Michael Nagler.

Voters will be asked to approve the bond sale in next Tuesday's election, where it will be listed as Proposal No. 3.

On the political front, lefty professor Zephyr Teachout said Monday she won't bury the hatchet and endorse Cuomo for a second term.

Teachout lost to the governor in the September Democratic primary, drawing one-third of the vote.

Her decision opens the door for her supporters to pull the lever for Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins.

Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino is Cuomo's Republican challenger.

"I'm not weighing in on the governor's race," Teachout told The Post.

Teachout, a Fordham Univeristy law professor, said she still has issues with Cuomo, whom she expects to win a second term.

"Cuomo hasn't even been fighting for Democratic control of the state Senate — and he should be," Teachout said.

Hawkins, in a conference call on Monday, appealed to the 181,000 Democrats who voted for Teachout to back him.

A series of polls over the past month show Cuomo leading Astorino by more than 20 points.

But Hawkins is drawing 9 percent, siphoning votes that would probably go to Cuomo.
