Desperate Andrew Cuomo is pitching hundreds of millions worth of plans for the city if elected mayor, including a public safety proposal that targets hiring 5,000 more cops — but the ex-gov offered few details on how he plans to pay for it. The independent mayoral hopeful, who is struggling to gain traction in the race for the Big Apple, announced a pie in the sky public safety plan last week that calls for a surge of 5,000 new cop hires – bolstered by $15,000 sign-on bonuses, additional retention incentives and the creation of a city-funded scholarship program offering tuition reimbursement at CUNY and SUNY schools. The Cuomo camp believes the police perks will run an estimated $250 million over five years — but offered no specifics on the college credit program cost.
