Quote History Quoted:
"According to the 2010 census, Puerto Ricans represent 8.9 percent of New York City alone (32% of the city's Hispanic community), and 5.5% of New York State as a whole.[4] Over a million Puerto Ricans in the state, about 70% are present in the city, with the remaining portion scattered in the city's suburbs and other major cities throughout New York State. Although Florida has received some dispersal of the population, there has been a resurgence in Puerto Rican migration to New York and New Jersey, primarily for economic and cultural considerations[5][6] - consequently, the New York City Metropolitan Area has witnessed a significant increase in its Puerto Rican population from 1,177,430 in 2010 to a Census-estimated 1,494,670 in 2016,[7] maintaining its status by a significant margin as the most important cultural and demographic center for Puerto Ricans outside San Juan."

Outside the obvious pandering under false pretenses that Cuomo is doing this for the People of PR, there is the cost: Not only are we talking millions in overtime, pre-diem, medical (can you imagine the cost when someone gets hurt, worse disabled, evacuating, etc.) and I'd imagine some are going to pad the shit out of their pensions with that highest pay thing the State has....yes, this stunt will cost the Tax paying Citizens of this State for the next two or three decades.
