Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Thursday afternoon signed a bill extending mayoral control of New York City schools for two years, capping off two days of an “extraordinary session” of the Legislature.

Mario Cuomo, which was opposed by some in the Hudson Valley, including the daughter of former Gov. Malcolm Wilson after whom the bridge previously also was named.
