The Center for Public Integrity (CPI) has given presumptive Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Cuomo's policy plan a "B." And that’s a good thing.

Hey Abbie –
So this can go on the new politics page, which we created in the new cms in anticipation of the migration. It needs a lite edit – can you take a look and put it in the new cms and then I will top you?
In the ‘ Series ’ area of the article page, please associate this with Election 2010.
I’ve requested logins for you for the OLD cms and the news blog.
Thanks!
K

But here you go.
Center for Public Integrity: Cuomo Plan Gets a “B”
And that’s a good thing. When it comes to ethics disclosures by legislators, New York is hardly a beam of sunshine. Under the current law, legislators have to disclose information about outside employers, but don’t have to say how much they are paid, or who their clients are. Nor do they have to say how much investments or real estate are really worth. So right now, CPI gives New York a “C” for its disclosure laws, behind Hawaii and Lousiana (!) but slightly ahead of California. In his policy “book” (link here) Cuomo proposes disclosure of client lists and “any and all outside income [elected representatives] receive.” That would be a significant “ouch” for legislators like Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, arguably the most powerful man in Albany right now – and also a successful lawyer.
That would move New York to a “B,” if enacted.

When it comes to ethics disclosures by legislators, New York is hardly a beam of sunshine. Under the current law, legislators have to disclose information about outside employers, but don’t have to say how much about how they are paid or who their clients are. Nor do they have to say how much their real estate or investments are really worth. So right now, CPI gives New York a “C” for its disclosure laws, behind Hawaii and Louisiana (!), but slightly ahead of California.
In his 252-page policy book, Cuomo proposes disclosure of client lists and “any and all outside income [that elected representatives] receive.” That would be a significant “ouch” for legislators like Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, arguably the most powerful man in Albany right now--and also a successful lawyer.
If Cuomo's policy plan is enacted, CPI reports that New York's grade could move from a "C" to a “B.”
