Andy Senate split

- Kenneth Lovett

NOT EVERY Democrat can count Gov. Cuomo in their corner.

The governor raised eyebrows at a fund-raiser in the city Tuesday for Senate Democrats by saying he would oppose fellow Dems who aren’t on board with his socially progressiv­e, fiscally conservati­ve agenda.

While it was unclear which Dems he was dissing, Cuomo said he wants a Democrat-controlled Senate that can pass initiative­s like a state DREAM Act and campaign finance and ethics reforms. He said the party would likely have to work with the breakaway Independen­t Democratic Conference for control. But there are some Dems, the governor said, who “frankly, I won’t go near.”
