Cuomo's Silver Spoon Costs Over a Trillion Dollars
Doing the arithmetic for the "financially" challenged Cuomo, 50% 0f 2.4 = 1.2, means he planned only $1.2 trillion in sub prime mortgage devastation.

Thank God, Cuomo's goals described in his press release as HUD Secretary are not yet reached, "CUOMO ANNOUNCES ACTION TO PROVIDE $2.4 TRILLION IN MORTGAGES FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING"
http://archives.hud.gov/news/1999/pr99-131.html
Andrew Cuomo's "Gollum" quest combined with a "silver spoon syndrome" left a wake of financial devastation whose terrible costs were passed on to the People of NY.
All the job losses which funded "Gollum" Spitzer's quest, were then continued by his replacement, "Gollum" Cuomo, which kept billions of dollars from the NY economy and so many jobs out of NY. This is the direct cause of the loss in NY State Income Tax Revenues now afflicting NY and generating the budget crisis. (see 4/10 post on this blog)
If you don't remember a silver spoon in your mouth and a legacy governorship in your pocket, you must keep both "Gollum" Spitzer and "Gollum" Cuomo distant from control of your money or your taxes.
But Cuomo's above reported macro financial malfeasances, are dwarfed in the number of afflicted individuals from his micro malfeasances. Cuomo's used his TARP to hide State-wide Court corruption which devastated so many individuals and our State's economy. Would an honest attorney general cover up and defend a corrupt Chief Judge and Appellate Judge who stole $40 million dollars? Would an honest attorney general cover up and defend the corruption in Westchester Surrogate Court where $250 million dollars is stolen from the heirs of Tom Carvel (ice cream) and distributed among a corrupt cabal of lawyers and judges?

I could replace "decency" with "honesty" and ask Andrew Cuomo the same words spoken before Senator McCarthy in 1954, "You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?" But I know the words would fall on the closed ears of "Gollum" entitled to the highest office because he born better than I and is convinced of what is owed to him.
We Lost Or Cuomo's Personal and Public Finance Balances
Beforehand, it was reported, "The publicity-driven HUD chief (Cuomo)so hyperventilated at press conferences about the (Farkas)scam that a federal judge had to put a stop to all the heavy breathing."
Thereafter, "(Andrew Farkas) ponied up over $2 million for front running attorney general... that includes $1.2 million in salary....paid Cuomo in 2004 and 2005." And "an undisclosed amount Island (Farkas' company) paid Cuomo in 2006"
Beforehand, Cuomo had charged in a federal lawsuit, "Farkas' then company, Insignia Financial Services, of paying $7.6 million in kickbacks to owners of 17 federally subsidized projects that Insignia managed."
Thereafter, Cuomo knew who paid his bills,"Cuomo's earnings tripled when he went to work at Island (Farkas' company)."

Andrew Cuomo had taken a lemon from sewage and changed it into lemonade in a golden cup.
How Cuomo handled public finance, "HUD had lost track of $59 billion"
"In fiscal year 1998, HUD had “undocumentable adjustments” of $17 billion: that is, $17 billion could not be accounted for. In fiscal 1999, HUD announced that it required $59 billion of “undocumentable adjustments” to balance the books and that it would not provide audited financial statements as required by law."
But the "compassionate" Cuomo did not want those taking any of the $59 billion to suffer a government witch hunt and so, "Cuomo did not order the HUD IG to investigate the reason for the missing billions or to try to get the money back."

Cuomo was so proud that he used our $200,000 to tell us about himself, "in the last day of the Clinton administration, HUD spent $200,000 on reports ... promoting then-Secretary Andrew Cuomo's political career."
Causing a petty response from Rep. Robert Ney, R-Ohio, "These funds could have provided an entire year's worth of housing assistance for hundreds of poor families across the country."

A Cuomo Legacy with a CAP (Cuomo Amnesty Program), when will we ever learn?
Three thousand year ago, it was recorded of the Prophet Samuel,
"Now it came to pass when Samuel was old that he made his sons judges over Israel. The name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judges in Beersheba. But his sons did not walk in his ways; they turned aside after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice."
Does Andrew Cuomo pervert justice with his TARP? Did lawyers with actions against the State who filled his campaign treasury cause Andrew Cuomo to turn aside from his duties for the People and pervert justice?
Two thousand years ago, there were the legacy Roman Emperors, Caligulia and Nero. Did Andrew Cuomo burn down our economy as reported in Village Voice, "He turned the Federal Housing Administration mortgage program into a sweetheart lender with sky-high loan ceilings and no money down, and he legalized what a federal judge has branded "kickbacks" to brokers that have fueled the sale of overpriced and unsupportable loans "?
http://www.villagevoice.com/content/printVersion/541234
What turned our country's founders against inherited office and appointed nobility judges?
What about the recent legacy office for, "read my lips"?
Or is it the Peter Principle at work? Was Andrew Cuomo already incompetent as HUD Secretary under President Clinton? In 2008, Andrew Cuomo and his staff reported on ExposeCorruptCourts.blogspot.com,
"The Amnesty 'window' will be narrow," says the source. 'Andrew's pretty serious about a real shake up, and he will not give state workers, including judges, more than 60 days to 'come clean.' The plan, dubbed 'CAP' (Cuomo's Amnesty Program) by AG lawyers, is said to specifically include all attorneys admitted to practice in New York, whether or not they are state employed. 'Heads will role once the Amnesty Program ends"
http://exposecorruptcourts.blogspot.com/2008/06/ag-andrew-cuomo-considering-amnesty-for.html
Did Andrew drop the ball and throw the game because of his incompetence and timidity? Or did venality and greed from craving "The Ring," lead to Andrew's shake down to fill up his campaign treasury and keep the TARP, he inherited from Spitzer, covering up the acts of crooked lawyers, judges, politicians from view?
Please, Mario Cuomo, spare us from this part of your legacy. And Andrew, forget the "Ring" and begin your CAP on April 15, 2010.
Follow Cuomo's and Spitzer's Money Trails Pursuing "The Ring."
If you believe Eliot Spitzer resigned only because of a whore, please contact me for a three life or 99 year lease on a bridge. Spitzer funded his Governor's campaign with a shakedown that damaged NY finances. Here's a quote from Great Britain on the election of Eliot Spitzer:
"Barring the most astonishing electoral upset in history, Eliot Spitzer will, by the time you read this, be governor-elect of New York. History will come to view him as one of the most damaging figures in the history of the state. It is difficult to imagine that he will, as governor, do anything to counter the damage he has already done to American business, or even that he would wish to do so. As governor, he will probably continue to make things much worse."

Was Spitzer worth his cost to the People of NY? Should Spitzer have become our first Jewish President?
NYT's Wake Up Call: Did Clinton resign because of Monica? Did Spitzer resign because his moral standing was eroded? Did Spitzer have a moral standard? Did Spitzer resign, because there was a more to hide, and he got a deal, he couldn't refuse from federal prosecutors? If federal prosecutors offered a deal, do the People have to accept it, also?
Second, following Cuomo's money trail:
Is Cuomo like Spitzer, a Gollum, obsessed with the "Ring," and becoming Governor and our first Italian president? Do the People of NY benefit when Cuomo shakes down lawyers for his campaign treasury, instead of Spitzer shaking down Wall Street? Cuomo built a 16 million dollar campaign fund with payoffs by lawyers with cases against NY State. In the end don't the payoffs made to Cuomo's treasury come at the expense of the People of NY whose interests were compromised? Was the salary paid by the People of NY insufficient for Cuomo' needs?

Matthew 6:24 "No man can serve two masters" nor can the People's attorney.
Here is the applicable Disciplinary Rule copied from the NY State's Codes, Rules and Regulations:
DR 5-101 [1200.20] Conflicts of Interest - Lawyer's Own Interests. A lawyer shall not accept or continue employment if the exercise of professional judgment on behalf of the client will be or reasonably may be affected by the lawyer’s own financial, business, property, or personal interests, unless a disinterested lawyer would believe that the representation of the client will not be adversely affected thereby and the client consents to the representation after full disclosure of the implications of the lawyer’s interest.
Questions in regard the blue text above for Andrew Cuomo:
1. Did you obtain the consent of the People after full disclosure of the implications before you took the money for your own personal campaign interests? Answer -NO.
2. A special prosecutor?
3. Is your defense, Spitzer did it first?
Better Laws #1: Brave New NY Politican's World: Official Misconduct is a Felony
To Andrew Cuomo, others running for Statewide Office, NY Assembly and NY Senate, NYT:
We,the People,demand tough law to stop NY government corruption. NY penal law for Official Misconduct copied here has a misdemeanor penalty, which is oft bargained down. Corruption prosecuted in NY under federal law is usually for felonies. We, the People, want a Better Law.
NY Judges may believe they're immune from law for acts on the bench, but they are mistaken. The NY Constitution's Bill of Rights, offers no immunity from indictment by any law, whether by legislative action or judicial proclamation. We, the People, demand to clarify judicial penal liability for official misconduct.
NY Constitution, Bill of Rights § 6
"The power of grand juries to inquire into the wilful misconduct in office of public officers, and to find indictments or to direct the filing of informations in connection with such inquiries, shall never be suspended or impaired by law."
Old version of Penal Law: § 195.00 Official misconduct. A public servant is guilty of official misconduct when, with intent to obtain a benefit or deprive another person of a benefit:
1. He commits an act relating to his office but constituting an unauthorized exercise of his official functions, knowing that such act is unauthorized; or
2. He knowingly refrains from performing a duty which is imposed upon him by law or is clearly inherent in the nature of his office. Official misconduct is a class A misdemeanor.
A "Better" Penal Law (changes in red): § 195.00 Official misconduct.
A public servant is guilty of official misconduct when, with intent to obtain a benefit or deprive another person of a benefit:
1. He commits an act relating to his office but constituting an unauthorized exercise of his official functions, knowing that such act is unauthorized; or
2. He knowingly refrains from performing a duty which is imposed upon him by law or is clearly inherent in the nature of his office.
3. Judges, judicial employees, employees of all NY State entities under judicial supervision and the Commission on Judicial Conduct are included as public servants under this law.
Official misconduct is a class C felony.
Career politicians and career judges mayn't want strict corruption laws, because they and/or their relatives, friends, contributors, etc. could be targets.
Are you with us Andrew Cuomo? And you, Senator or Assembly Member? NYT?
Cuomo drops the ball with regard to crime involving Chief Judge and Appellate Judge
Dear Mr. Cuomo and the NYTimes: When will you act on the criminal complaints against Chief Judge Lippman and Appellate Judge Ramos? AG Cuomo used his TARP to cover this 40 million dollar crime involving both judges. Andrew Cuomo appears to have passed through school and to his high positions through affirmative action for the “challenged” children of Political Chief Executives. Due to his affirmative action learning deficits and in order to assist AG Cuomo in what to present to the Grand Jury, I copied major applicable NY Penal Law below. Perhaps, some of AG Cuomo's staff can assist with other laws to present to the Grand Jury.
>§ 155.05 Larceny; defined. 1. A person steals property and commits larceny when, with intent to deprive another of property or to appropriate the same to himself or to a third person, he wrongfully takes, obtains or withholds such property from an owner thereof
§ 155.42 Grand larceny in the first degree. A person is guilty of grand larceny in the first degree when he steals property and when the value of the property exceeds one million dollars. Grand larceny in the first degree is a class B felony.
The Committee on Public Integrity has called upon federal officials to prosecute Judges Lippman and Ramos because you, AGl Cuomo, failed to act. See Link http://exposecorruptcourts.blogspot.com/2010/03/committee-calls-on-us-attorney-and-fbi.html
Right now, I call upon Andrew Cuomo and the NY Times to act. How could AG Cuomo be our Governor when AG Cuomo dropped the ball for the People of NY by covering up a giant criminal scandal under his TARP.
TF
Additional wake up for AG Cuomo and the NY Times: Eliot Spitzer has just poked his head out from under the TARP.
The Pope, NY Times, Andrew Cuomo, and open bidding for NY Senate votes.
New York's unresolved budget crisis has Senators Sampson and Klein as Senate Leaders negotiating the budget, who have committed publicly reported acts which will harm NY Taxpayers. The NY Times said regarding the Pope, its reports were "based on meticulous reporting and documents." The NY Times needn't waste its money for "meticulous reporting" in regard to either reporting and/or asking AG Cuomo to prosecute, because the documents and criminal charges are already in public domain.
Perhaps, if the NY Times doesn't support prosecution, the NY Times will support transparency in NY Government and can ask Senators Sampson and Klein to open up the bidding to influence their votes to a free market, where all NY citizens could openly bid for their votes and influence.
