In the wake of criticism from Hispanic leaders who were disappointed with his radio silence in response to their invitation to their annual Somos conference, Governor-elect Andrew Cuomo has decided to attend after all.

Cuomo is expected to arrive in San Juan Sunday night – weather permitting – and speak at a breakfast early Monday morning, his office confirmed.

It’s unclear whether Cuomo’s time on the island will overlap with the stay of the man he’ll be replacing, Gov. David Paterson, who is scheduled to be in San Juan tonight through tomorrow.

State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli is also on tap to arrive at Somos late tonight. He’s scheduled to address a labor breakfast tomorrow morning to thank all the union members who played a key roll in his first statewide victory in Tuesday’s election.
