The Issue: Gov. Cuomo’s decision to delay fracking in upstate New York, citing a need for more reviews.

***

Gov. Cuomo seemed like a very strong leader after getting elected, but, as expected, he is starting to show his true colors (“Cuomo’s Latest Stall,” Editorial, Oct. 2).

Like Mayor Bloomberg, who was a good businessman before entering politics and then turned into a bothersome nanny, Cuomo was an effective attorney general.

Becoming governor has turned him into a typical greedy New York politician who is more concerned with his political career than with the well-being of millions of upstate workers.

The baloney will continue, and forget any idea that he may go after a scheming manipulator like Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver.

Cuomo’s spineless behavior displays a lack of leadership.

He would rather watch his constituents sweat out a chance at some economic relief than to face down special-interest groups.

He has been double-talking and giving lame excuses for not allowing fracking in New York’s Southern Tier, while New York’s neighbor Pennsylvania is enjoying an economic mini-boom from extracting gas.

How can Cuomo look the public in the eye and lie — The Post calls it faking — about needing further studies about fracking safety when numerous states are enjoying a windfall from this practice?

Chalk it up to just another puppet politician in the pocket of people who profit.
