I came up with two keynote Democratic convention addresses by Cuomo. I still know there's a speech I heard which gave more info/stats toward welfare programs (that's just my own grrrr over lost brain cells over the years; obviously welfare is not the major issue of the day). As he was my governor for quite some time, I'm probably recalling a more local/regional speech. Still, these keynotes are (IMO) worth revisiting and rather interesting in light of our current political state and president-elect and--the Clintons! I also added a URL with some pithy quotes.
