I’m sure Governor Snotball is proud of his “B” rating by the rightwing Cato Institue “think tank,”<\/a> though I have to wonder what his poor dad thinks (Mario must feel even worse about his evil spawn than Mike Wallace had to have felt about his fux-boy Chris).<\/p>\n

Four governors received “A” grades from the conservative think tank, and they are all Republicans: North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory; Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback; Maine Gov. Paul LePage and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.<\/p>\n

Cuomo was one of three Democratic governors to get a “B,” along with Earl Ray Tomblin of West Virginia and Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As a corrupt, arrogant little asswipe<\/a>, Andy fits right in with the teabaggers of the world, but he earned his rating by going above and beyond the line of duty with actions like this<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Cuomo administration edited and delayed key fracking study<\/b><\/p>\n

ALBANY\u2014A federal water study commissioned by the Cuomo administration as it weighed a key decision on fracking was edited and delayed by state officials before it was published, a Capital review has found.<\/p>\n

The study, originally commissioned by the state in 2011, when the administration was reportedly considering approving fracking on a limited basis, was going to result in a number of politically inconvenient conclusions for Governor Andrew Cuomo, according to an early draft of the report by the U.S. Geological Survey obtained by Capital through a Freedom of Information Act request.<\/p>\n

A comparison of the original draft of the study on naturally occurring methane in water wells across the gas-rich Southern Tier with the final version of the report, which came out after extensive communications between the federal agency and Cuomo administration officials, reveals that some of the authors’ original descriptions of environmental and health risks associated with fracking were played down or removed.<\/p>\n

The final version of the report also excised a reference to risks associated with gas pipelines and underground storage\u2014a reference which could have complicated the Cuomo administration’s potential support for a number of other controversial energy projects, including a proposed gas storage facility in the Finger Lakes region that local wine makers say could destroy their burgeoning industry.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
