Feb 20, 2021 Assemblyman Andrew Goodell, R-Jamestown, is pictured, right, during an Empire State Poverty Reduction Initiative task force hearing hosted by the state Assembly in Buffalo in 2019. OBSERVER File Photo Andrew Goodell spends more time than any other Assembly member debating legislation. Often, Goodell is debating with Assemblyman Ron Kim, D-Queens, on a variety of legislation. On Thursday, the Jamestown Republican and Assembly minority whip supported Kim in his ongoing battle with Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Kim said Cuomo had vowed to “destroy” him during a private phone call last week for criticism the governor felt was unfair. Cuomo denied the allegation, then used a call with reporters Wednesday to blast Kim, one of nine Democrats who signed a letter seeking support for the proposal to limit his emergency powers, which are set to expire this spring.
