In worst-govs report, CREW razzes Cuomo as a ‘sideshow’

The left-leaning good government group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has released its second report on “The Worst Governors in America,” and Andrew Cuomo has been included. The report, which includes criticism of only two Democrats and 16 Republicans, knocks Cuomo on what CREW sees as transparency and cronyism failures.

The report references the TU’s 2012 stories on the removal from public view of previously disclosed documents from Cuomo’s tenure as attorney general.

Called for comment, the second floor said a response was being prepared.

The report has three categories of descending levels of opprobrium: “Ringmasters,” “Clowns” and “Sideshows.” Cuomo will be somewhat relieved to find himself in the third category, along with Republicans Terry Branstad of Iowa, Bill Haslam of Tennessee, Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, John Kasich of Ohio and Rick Snyder of Michigan.
