Cuomo vs Cuomo
Today, the Post noted Cuomo is picking up where Spitzer left off in the lawsuit against Dick Grasso for his huge compensation package from the New York Stock Exchange.
"No one's backing down on this one," said one party familiar with the case.
But among the thousands of cases Cuomo inherited from Spitzer is one in which Cuomo is one of the defendants.
As Mark Green revealed during a televised debate, the AG's office filed a lawsuit against HUD for not enforcing federal pesticide restrictions. The lawsuit was filed after Cuomo left HUD but includes the years while he was there.
It wasn't much of a vote-getter for Green, but a lawsuit is still a lawsuit.
So what will happen with that case?
"Andrew is reviewing pending cases and it would be inappropriate for him to comment on ongoing cases and matters in the AGs office at this time," his spokeswoman Wendy Katz told me via email.
Update: An informed reader notes that HUD and Secretary Alphonso Jackson are the people named as defendants in the lawsuit. But it does cover the years when Cuomo led the agency, which makes his prosecution of the case so interesting. -- Azi Paybarah
I think we should all simply step a side and allow Andrew Cuomo to do his job.
The people of New York know the history of the man, and they know the parent's of the man they voted into office.
Integrity is at the top of the list for the Cuomo family, it's their priority.
Andrew Cuomo is New York's Sweetheart, and now he's our New York State Attorney General.
Andrew is a gentleman, and he knows how to serve the people of New York State, he knows his job, he's completely professional, therefore everyone else should back off, step aside, and let the man do his job.
The Election is over, and the people of New York State have rendered their opinion, it's over.
Now let Justice be Served by Andrew Cuomo.
They say it's not over till the fat lady sings, well I'm singing, "Ding Dong the witch is done, the wicked one, the wicked witch, la, la, la, la, la, la, laaaaaaaaa, thank God the wicked witch is done. Hi ho the merry oh,la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, the wicked witch is done.
Happy now? It's over.
Weel, I guess Dave D. is still around - He just became even more verbose. Welcome back
Green would have been the best man for the AG's job (no skeletons) and Spitzer knows it, which explains his non support of Andrew during the primary.
