A question for New Yorkers - are you aware that Cuomo is

under fire for interfering with the Moreland Commission to Investigate Public Corruption?

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/24/opinion/gov-cuomos-broken-promises.html

I'm asking because I think this is a story in Albany, possibly in NYC but that Upstate is totally out of the loop.

(I'm asking in GD because I think more New Yorkers will see it here than in the New york forum.)

Except for the NY Times... I think the $$$media here (NYC) is trying to keep it on the down-low.

No front-pagers on the tabloids and I'll wager zero coverage on the local TV news.

As far as our corporate masters are concerned, the business of politics is business and Cuomo.... to ridiculously understate the case... is more than willing to go along.

They'll protect their boy. ( It's this danged federal prosecutor that worries them. Seems like he can't be bought.)

All that said: great, dogged coverage here in NY Forum... mainly due to HRMJustin.
