With the city skyline as the backdrop and ten happy faces in the foreground, it's the perfect Christmas card, just a few weeks late, thanks to the Blizzard of '22.
It looks like Governor Cuomo won t be at this weekend s Bills game after all.
After Buffalo Bills fan Jeff Dorenzo created an online petition to ban Cuomo from attending this year s home playoff games, many New Yorkers wondered if the governor would keep his ticket.
In his daily coronavirus briefing on Wednesday, Cuomo announced that he would not be attending the Bills first home playoff game as planned, but not because of the petition. The bad news is I have to rewrite the State of the State, Cuomo said during the breifing. The really bad news is, since I m going to rewrite the State of the State, I m not going to get to the Bills game this weekend, which is going great.
Governor Cuomo doesn t get a lot of love from Central and Upstate New York. And despite allowing a limited number of fans to attend the Bills game this weekend, there s not a lot of sweetness coming from the western part of the state either.
When the Bills clinched their first division title, earning them their first home playoff game in two decades, even the Governor got into the celebration. Working with the NY Health Department, a plan was announced to allow 67-hundred fans to attend the game, provided they followed COVID-19 protocols and guidelines. It all led to team owners Terry and Kim Pegula inviting the Governor to attend the game.
