that Guiliani found it more favorable to have a Governor who was friendly to the city since Cuomo had deep ties to NYC and had lived there. Basically, NYC would get more money under Cuomo. Pataki was from upstate NY which meant that he wouldn't put the city first. NYC is also majority Democratic which again, a Republican Governor would be less sympathetic to its concerns.
