ALBANY - In Gov. Andrew Cuomo's memoir in 2014, he talked about the first time his family moved to the governor's mansion in Albany in 1982 when his father took office.
There, he passed outgoing Gov. Hugh Carey carrying two boxes out of the mansion with no one to help him.
"I thought to myself, 'Boy when it's over, it's over, and never allowed myself to forget that lesson," Cuomo wrote in the first pages.
It's a lesson that Cuomo, now living in the same mansion, might be reminding himself of as his 11 years in office faces the most imperiled juncture of his 40-year career in New York politics.
