Cuomo made the remarks during a public press conference on Sunday.
“New York is going to have what it needs. No one is going to attack NY unfairly and no one is going to deprive NY of what it needs. That’s why we have a state full of talented people,” said Cuomo. “There is no state in the nation that is better prepared or mobilized than what we’re doing.”
