Governor Cuomo on the MTA Overtime Controversy and Marijuana Legalization

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo talks about pending legislation in Albany and the MTA overtime controversy.

@cuomo now on @BrianLehrer, who spares chit-chat and gets down to business with a question about MTA overtime. Cuomo touts MTA overhaul (in 7th year of his administration) -- but says the issue is authorized vs unauthorized overtime, which he says might be fraudulent.

@BrianLehrer to @NYGovCuomo: What about LEGAL overtime and high contractual costs? "The contract has to be renegotiated, to the extent their are undue benefits to the workforce, they should be taken out."

I don't think this is about details -- this is about politics, says @NYGovCuomo on #cannabis and in the Senate "we're getting down to the final 3 weeks or so but they're still saying they don't have the votes." @BrianLehrer

Gov. Cuomo tells @BrianLehrer the unresolved #marijuana legalization issues include growing plants at home, use of revenues, shop operators and amount that can be possessed. He argues that the biggest challenge is getting the @NYSenDems on board, saying they don't have 32 votes.

.@BrianLehrer asking a question for a friend re. dignity-in-dying bill; @NYGovCuomo has said he supports but doubts it can get through Legislature.
