Spin Cycle

The new "Project Sunlight" Web site unveiled by Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, which will go live for the public at 3 pm at www.sunlightny.com, sets up links between lawmakers and public spending and lobbying and campaign cash. Naturally, it comes replete with a video, which begins with an interesting quote from the AG himself: "Transparency and disclosure to me are the pillars of restoring public integrity."

Does that mean disclosure to Cuomo is essential, or is Cuomo saying that in his opinion, transparency and disclosure are such pillars? You can't be too sure in Albany. Another point: The figure with the bowling ball head and abbreviated arms has an electric bulb next to his head -- which isn't really sunlight.

But why pick? For those of us with sunny dispositions, it sounds like a good enough program far as it goes....View for yourself.
