Its been reported on the sort of intra-NYS political spots, but it seems to have stalled there. It is bribery. It is quid pro quo. It is shady. It is all F'd up. But its actually legal. Unless there is documentary proof of Cuomo himself saying "I am taking this money and will veto this because of the money you are handing me, Andrew Cuomo." That wont ever happen. So its legal. Thats the new bar. Done. More than money-taking-for-veto, this was VOTE BUYING! This one wasn't so much about the money. Really. Its the votes. In this case follow the votes. I hate to be a cynical douche, but remember his trip to Israel back right before the primary or whatever. That was Cuomo pandering his ass off. That wasn't about him being cool culturally. Its about grabbing a super stable, dependable, and yes, often double-voting-and-nobody-questioning-it block of 10s of thousands of votes. Its true. Sorry.

If something isn't done in the next year or two to clean up that cesspool the exodus of residents from this state is going to increase tremendously.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
