Cuomo weighs in on Grisanti incident
ALBANY -- Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who has worked with State Sen. Mark J. Grisanti on everything from the gay marriage law to a University at Buffalo expansion plan, said he left the senator a message over the weekend but that they have not communicated since a Friday night brawl at a Niagara Falls casino involving Grisanti and a Seneca businessman.
"As I understand it, now there's an ongoing investigation into the matter. I don't have any comment on it. I do wish him and his wife the best," Cuomo said, noting that he had met Grisanti's wife in the past. "Obviously, I've worked with the senator on a number of matters, and I was concerned about the health of his wife, and I hope she's doing well."
