Hizzoner is deplorable.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Reprehensible, yeah, that is a good description of Cuomo.

Is Sing-Sing still open?

[Mjreagan]

A denouncement this strong is usually an admission of guilt

[Blood of Tyrants]

Note that he said the ALLEGATIONS were reprehensible, not the corruption itself.

[mkmensinger]

It’s simply reprehensible (sung to Simply Irresistible).

SUNY Polytechnic Institute President Alain Kaloyeros was also involved. He was supposed to be the “savior” for the Utica/Rome area, by building nana tech bldgs. at what used to be SUNY/IT.

I was looking for a story on this to post, but you saved me the trouble. Look, New York State politicians have raised corruption to an art form. A few years ago, the state was run by a proverbial three men in a room. The governor, the head of the state assembly and the head of the state senate made all of the decisions, and their colleagues in the legislature were expected, no commanded, to rubber stamp it. The three men in question were Governor Andrew Cuomo, Senate Majority leader Dean Skelos (a republican, by the way), and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver. Together, they carved up the state.

But, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York,Preet Bharara appointed by Barack Obama, no less, has become one of my new heroes. He has sought, and successfully taken out Skelos and Silver. Now he has set his sights on Cuomo. He has gone after Cuomo cronies, but everyone here in New York understands that Cuomo is the true target. Bharara (who was born in India), seems to take public corruption seriously.

[they won’t derail efforts to revitalize the upstate economy. ]

Cueball already did this when he permanently banned fracking.

"He said afterward he knew nothing about the allegations in advance. […] "

[Behind Liberal Lines]

He’s either as crooked as they are or so stupid he’s disqualified from holding office. Either way he has to go

[jmacusa]

Andrew is shocked! Shocked I tell you to find there is corruption in the New York State legislature.
