Will He or Won’t He?
Cuomo’s Fork in the Road

From New Yorker’s for Growth - “Andrew Cuomo is faced with a stark choice next month: He can demonstrate his commitment to fiscal and ethics reform by rejecting the Working Families Party line this year, or he will send a clear signal to taxpayers that it will be business as usual under a Cuomo Administration, fiscal reform group New Yorkers for Growth today said.

The WFP, which is currently being investigated by the US Attorney’s Office for serious allegations that it violated election and other laws, has offered Mr. Cuomo its line for governor, but the Attorney General has not yet publicly said whether he will accept it or not. (Wall Street Journal story on matter linked here.)

The WFP, which is closely allied with the now defunct ACORN, is widely seen as the driving force behind high-spending and high-tax policies in Albany.

“If Andrew Cuomo accepts the Working Families Party line it will tell voters all they need to know about the direction his administration would take,” said former Larchmont mayor and New Yorkers for Growth spokesman Liz Feld. “But if he rejects the Working Families Party, that will speak volumes about his candidacy, too. Twenty million New Yorkers will be watching to see what he does.”

New Yorkers for Growth has urged Attorney General Cuomo to investigate the WFP for months.
