Buffalo Billion trial has exposed Cuomo’s corruption

https://www.yahoo.com/news/m/106a3a5...trial-has.html

Excerpt:

Back then, he called them “actions I can take under my own authority.” Instead, he packaged the changes with similar reforms for spending by the Legislature and asked state lawmakers to OK them all — which they . . . didn’t.

So he’s still taking donations from firms that want to do business with the state.

Oh, and the gov is also widely seen as the force who persuaded the Assembly not to pass two bills pushed by state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli giving him the power to oversee economic-development outlays. (The Republican-led Senate passed both with broad bipartisan support.)

Bottom line: Andrew Cuomo set out to spend taxpayer billions in the name of economic development, outside the normal controls on state spending. Many of the contracts then went to enrich his donors in familiar “pay to play” fashion — and at least two of his closest associates took the opportunity to line their own pockets.

And when the feds moved in with indictments, Cuomo promised reforms that he then never took and stood in the way of other efforts to make sure it didn’t happen again.

The guy would make a great commie, assuming he isn't one already, that is.
