Cuomo Touts ‘New System for Accountability’ After Allowing Old System to Fail for Nearly 8 Years

  Today in a transparent attempt to distance himself from the growing corruption scandals surrounding his administration, Governor Cuomo claimed that “changes have been made to how spending is done for economic development” and touted a “new system of accountability”.

“It only took 8 years, 2 trials, 6 convictions, and $850 million in corrupt contracts for the Governor to decide that we need more accountability,” said Cynthia for New York spokeswoman Lauren Hitt. “We need more than a new system. We need a new administration.”
