It's sad to see Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo concede that he is not up to the task of expanding job opportunities in New York State ["Cuomo takes on jobs 'piracy,' " News, Oct. 8]. Under the guise of "piracy" claims, Cuomo now looks to the federal government to hinder corporations from fleeing New York for more business-friendly states.
Of course, New York needs to boost employment, but to achieve this, is more federal regulation on business really what we should expect from our governor?
