Rowland Evans and Robert Novak assess Mario Cuomo as a polarizing candidate whose 1974 lieutenant governor run was weak yet viewed by some as the last hope to salvage a failing New York City economy. Cuomo appeals across parties with fiscal conservatism, calls to curb crime, and a pledge to reduce city spending and taxes, while facing party loyalties, Carey endorsement backlash, and scrutiny of his associations and rhetoric.

James J Kilpatrick argues that the inland waterway system, built with billions in taxpayer support, should begin imposing user charges on barge operators. He cites subsidies, corporate wealth of major shippers, and a long study history to press for phased charges starting in 1980 and full costs by 1989, framing waterway traffic as essential to a broader transport program.
