Your Call Has Been Disconnected
/NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo was doing a video conference call with Reporters around the state to talk about changes to the state tax code.
Syracuse TV Reporter Brett Hall jumped in to ask the governor about the fate of the proposed $15 million gondola for the New York State Fair, a project the governor proposed last year that was tabled amid criticism that it was a waste of money.
Hall did not even get his full question asked before the Governor's staff cut him off and hung up on him.
Even Gov. Cuomo knew that was not cool.
Tried to clarify in an interview w/@NYGovCuomo if the plan to build @NYSFair/@LakeviewAmp Gondola is still on the table. Member of his press office hung up on me. Encouraged that even the governor himself knows that’s just not right! @CNYcentral pic.twitter.com/k57E7YTmWP

Then again maybe this was all part of the plan, since Cuomo never did answer the question.
