Cuomo: "You Almost Have To Pinch Yourself"

Karen DeWitt at WXXI, quoting Governor Andrew Cuomo at a September 2015 ceremony at the Solar City factory in Buffalo that is the centerpiece of his scandal-plagued Buffalo Billion Project:

“Wow, wow, wow,” the governor said at the time. “You almost have to pinch yourself, right, that this is too good to be true.”

Indeed you do.

On Friday, we learned that Governor Cuomo's vaunted Buffalo Billion Project appears to be riddled with fraud - and that's from the Cuomo administration's very own statement. 

We also learned that two of Cuomo's former staffers and close confidantes, Joe Percoco and Todd Howe, are under investigation for corruption, along with a third associate, the head of SUNY Poly, Alain Kaloyeros.

Cuomo is said to be stunned, flabbergasted and devastated by the news.

Almost makes me want to say "Wow, wow, wow...You almost have to pinch yourself, right, that this is too good to be true."

There's a nice round-up on all the Buffalo Billion/Cuomo scandal news here.

Head on over, read it and pinch yourself.
