Andy Cuomo had a hand in HUD as well once.
Billions ended up missing and nobody knows where, who, or when still.

What a horrible situation to find yourself: Being so incompetent that the only jobs available are in government. Does deBlasio think he has any chance of getting a job in the private sector?

This guy think houses In NYC are $100K, and he was the HUD secretary. Houses in Brookline might have been $100K in the 1970s. But wait. The Biden admin is bringing back gas lines and stagflation, just like the 1970’s, so a perfect hat trick would be for housing prices to collapse to 70’s levels.

And it was documented. Andy Cuomo is a bigger POS than a lot of people realize.

More like TRILLIONS, since Cuomo as HUD Secty basically started the mortgage crises.*.

Is there anything that Cuomo has run that he HASN"T turned to shiite?>

* More detail here (semi leftist source but honest expose of Cuomo):
