ANDREW CUOMO IS NOT A FISCAL REFORMER IF HE ACCEPTS WORKING FAMILIES PARTY LINE: NYFG

Working Families Party is "Anathema to Reform"

Aug 20, 2010 - From New Yorker's for Growth:

New York, NY-Aug. 20...New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo (D) cannot accept the Working Families Party (WFP) line and claim to be a fiscal reformer, fiscal reform group New Yorkers for Growth today said. 

The WFP, which is closely associated with the radical group ACORN, is a collection of unions and special interest organizations that oppose virtually all efforts of fiscal reform in state and local government.  The WFP advocates higher state spending, dramatically higher taxes, borrowing, and more expensive union contracts, despite New York's deteriorating fiscal picture. 

"Andrew Cuomo is saying a lot of the right things about fiscal reform, but if he accepts the WFP line it will be a clear indication that he is not serious about it," said New Yorkers for Growth spokesman, former Larchmont Mayor Liz Feld. "It's decision time for Mr. Cuomo:Is he going to be a reformer if we elect him, or is he going to be just another Albany politician? What he does with the WFP will tell all."
