Lawmaker Turns Heckler in Albany


BY JOSH DAWSEY

ALBANY—Several minutes
into Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s
State of the State speech
Wednesday, a New York City
assemblyman stood up and
heckled him loudly and at
length over his economic and
poverty policies.
Once he left the room, As-
semblyman Charles Barron of
East New York said he wanted
to “vomit” after watching a
lengthy montage of people
thanking the Democratic gov-
ernor for activities across the
state. He said he had planned
a disruption to get media at-
tention because Mr. Cuomo
was a “hypocrite.”
“What’s happening in there
is not really the state of the
state,” said Mr. Barron, a Dem-
ocrat. He added that black
people and poor people were
being overlooked in places like
East New York.
The crowd seemed to side
with Mr. Cuomo during the ep-
isode, roaring as the gover-
nor’s voice rose to drown out
Mr. Barron’s. Mr. Cuomo asked
the assemblyman to sit down
and be quiet on several occa-
sions, which Mr. Barron re-
fused to do. The governor kept
his cool, trying to talk over
