Who Advised Cuomo on Mortgage Industry Investigation? A Mortgage Lobbyist

[marmar]

A version of this story was co-published by ProPublica and the Albany Times-Union.

In early 2007, when he was New York State attorney general, Andrew Cuomo brought on a longtime confidant as a consultant on mortgage industry investigations, a move that has gone undisclosed until now.

The friend was Howard Glaser and he had another job at the same time: consultant and lobbyist for the very industry Cuomo was investigating.

Glaser, who went on to become a top state official in Cuomo’s gubernatorial administration, was operating a lucrative consulting firm, the Glaser Group, with a host of mortgage industry clients.
Later that year, Glaser provided insights on Cuomo’s investigations to industry players on a conference call hosted by an investment bank.

Cuomo’s office ended up giving immunity to one of Glaser’s clients a year into his term as attorney general. .................(more)

1. This Cuomo has never had what...

you might call a moral compass. Or even a sense of how to manage without political concerns taking over-- look at his backflips over the LIRR strike.

With over 35 million bucks in the bank for his reelection he owes a lot of people, none of whom would be me.

Curiously, though, every time he runs for something, the other guy is worse. The Republicans have a chance at winning this thing if they put up a real candidate and not a tea party clone.

Not that I want them to win, but this guy is starting to wear thin.
