Music to Governor Paterson's ears? According to Bloomberg News, "New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo’s campaign fund took tens of thousands of dollars from law firms representing clients his office investigated or accused of wrongdoing, state records show. Boies Schiller & Flexner LLP, a New York law firm led by David Boies, gave Cuomo $35,000 this year, records show. The firm represents former American International Group Inc. Chief Executive Officer Maurice 'Hank' Greenberg in a civil fraud case the attorney general is pursuing. Lawyers defending Dell Inc.,Deutsche Bank AG and a former state political party chief in Cuomo cases also contributed to him, records show." Apparently there's a loophole in the donation form that allows lawyers "representing persons or entities with matters before the NYS Attorney General’s office" to donate to his campaign.

Shocking. Next thing you'll try to tell me the last guy who had the job was addicted to prostitutes.
Old News to me. Cuomo also received money from Helmsey's trustees to circumvent her will and steal the money.
Too bad he isn't a repub, maybe then Obathamist would get more comments/ page views.
(he's partly responsible for the Fannie Mae crises, as well).
