    Money for nothing: Cuomo’s $25 billion upstate-jobs failure

    It’s no secret that Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s efforts to boost the upstate economy haven’t panned out, but a new investigation this week documents just what a spectacular failure they’ve been.

    The series, by Investigative Post, ProPublica and the Columbia School of Journalism, notes that since 2010, Cuomo by his own reckoning has dropped a whopping $25 billion to restart the upstate economy — but with pathetically little to show for it.


    While jobs have grown 11 percent nationally since 2010, and 13 percent in all New York, upstate jobs grew just 2.7 percent, worse than in all but three states.


    In some areas, jobs contracted: down 3.5 percent in Binghamton, for example, and 5.2 percent in Elmira. Worse, nine out of 10 new upstate jobs are in “low-wage sectors.”

    "I'm not locked in here with them. They're locked in here with me!!"
