Word of his death came only hours after his son andrew cuomo was inaugurated for his second term as governor. In a statement president obama called mario cuomo a determined champion of progressive values and an unflinching voice for tolerance, inclusiveness, fairness, dignity, and opportunity. He was known for his large intellect, but his flirtations with the presidency frustrated supporters. Marlie hall looks at the career that thrust cuomo into the National Stage as an apologetic champion of the left. Reporter he was elected governor in 1983 and served three terms, balancing 12 consecutive budgets and leading new york through two recessions. Cuomo emerged on the National Stage in 1984 at the Democratic Convention in san francisco, delivering the keynote address he highlighted the failures of the reagan presidency. Theres despair, mr. President , in the faces you dont see, in the places that you dont visit in your shining city. Reporter cuomo liked to as he put it campaign in poetry and his eloquence earned him a reputation as one of the democratic partys most respected thinkers. Peace is better than war because life is better than death. Reporter as a Roman Catholic he was personally opposed to abortion but supported a womans right to choose and he was against the Death Penalty which became the major focus of the 1994 race where he lost to republican george pataki. Ive surely made mistakes as governor, but im as proud as can be with what weve accomplished together. Reporter he agonized over years whether to run for president the reputation that led to the nickname hamlet on the hudson. He said he opted out because he never believed he was the most qualified candidate. After leaving the governors mansion, cuomo headed into private practice but 16 years later, he was back in albany to see his son andrew sworn in as governor. He looked frail at the 2014 election and days later entered the hospital with a heart condition, but first he celebrated his sons reelection where the younger cuomo declared him the father of the modern democratic party.

Recent legal challenges may lead to hundreds of millions of dollars in refunds for motorists. Vicente arenas has the story. The minute i hit the intersection it seemed to turn red. Reporter this 61yearold received two tickets for running a red light at this intersection in boca raton. Both of them by a traffic camera. I think this is not the right way go about giving people tickets. Reporter its a reaction shared by millions in recent years as redlight cameras have popped up in cities nationwide.

Id like to see the Camera Companies take their cameras somewhere else and put some Police Officers back to work. Reporter he may be one step closer to that goal.

Ats has five cameras in coral gables. Avery hudak is the citys interim police chief. There are some critics who say that the tickets are rubber stamped, that the officer sits there and says accept, accept, accept. Its not the case in coral gables. Every one of of them is reviewed by an officer, and as many as we pass through for a viation, there are also a handful that are removed at the officers discretion.
