THE EAGLE: A Times Union Podcast27 Aug 2021

The Captain of New York

This week the Capital Region saw a tropical storm, the installation of New York's first woman as governor, the tragic drowning of a state trooper, and a call for the attorney general to investigate an alleged leak of confidential information from the state's ethics oversight commission. But none of these headlines came close to the traffic the Times Union saw on its reporting on Captain, former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's dog. The energetic shepherd mix was thrust into the spotlight this week, mere days before National Dog Day. The departing governor, who officially resigned on Monday, left his canine pal at the Executive Mansion—after he moved out. Did he leave the pooch behind for good? State police sources say yes, Cuomo says no. It's the latest in a string of controversy surrounding the former governor that has bled over into the start of Gov. Kathy Hochul's term. On this episode of The Eagle, Times Union Editor-in-Chief Casey Seiler and Capitol Bureau Managing Editor Brendan Lyons discuss Captain's fate, as well as the first steps of the Hochul administration. Also on this episode, business reporter Shayla Colon was looking for a place to live in the Capital Region when she stumbled on a common real estate scam. And then she did what any good reporter would do— investigated it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
