FILE - In this Thursday, Dec. 8, 2016, file photo, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo speaks during an economic development awards ceremony in Albany, N.Y.  Cuomo has vetoed a proposal to make the state pay for public defenders. His decision means that at least for now, individual counties will largely keep footing the bill for defending poor people accused of crimes. Supporters said the legislation would have helped ensure New Yorkers have equal access to justice. But the Democratic governor said it went too far and included hundreds of millions of dollars for legal services in family court and other settings. (AP Photo/Mike Groll, File)
