1. Clean Up Albany
We must restore honor and integrity to government.
We must restore honor and integrity to government, with tough new ethics standards, expanded disclosure requirements, independent investigators to root out and punish corruption
Here's the story: Ms. Luisa Esposito fought back against the connected insider and sexual predator, Alan Issacs, in part with this recording.

Ms.Esposito was stymied by the corruption and official misconduct of various NY State and City employees named in her Federal suit. Cuomo's office chose in the prior Federal suit to defend the acts of the corrupt, rather than "root out and punish the corruption." Now, Ms. Esposito's is asking to reopen her Federal suit with new information and Judge Shira Scheindlin is giving Cuomo's office a chance to answer by September 17.
Andrew, did you and your office err by condoning and/or obstructing criminal punishment for the following acts described in the Federal action? Here's the quote from June 1, 2010 Order of "The First Dept. Disciplinary Committee[which} charged respondent (Issacs) with professional misconduct including making unwanted sexual advances to LE. Defendant, Issacs, committed Felony Level Sexual Abuse, Coercion And Soliciting Sex From His Client, Obstruction of Justice, etc., these crimes were reported to Manhattan Special Victims Squad, and listed As "Felony Level Sexual Abuse"; there was an arrest warrant out for Defendant Allen Issacs, which the Police Department never acted upon because, "favors were called".
Here's what to do, Andrew: In your answer on September 17, before Federal Judge Scheindlin:
1. Support Ms. Esposito's application to Reopen.
2. Say you still claim immunity for all State employees for their official actions, but only for actions which carried out "your" and State policy to root out and punish corruption
3. Say any acts by State or City employees that did not carry out official policy and were a cover-up are not subject to immunity from Esposito's suit.The above E-mailed to Cuomo 9/12/2010
