Andrew Cuomo [photo, left] has been receiving tons of campaign money from real estate interests, according to today's New York Times.
This is quite scary, really.
When Eliot Spitzer [photo, right] was New York State Attorney General, he made a point of going after corrupt people in the real estate industry, just as he went after alleged wrong-doers on Wall Street.
Remember his moniker, "The Sheriff of Wall Street"?
We sincerely hope that the real estate money is not buying Cuomo, luring him to their side, though some renter advocates say that is precisely what is happening.
This is something we hope is openly and deeply debated in the Democratic Party as they consider his candidacy for governor.
