Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Democratic primary opponent says his office’s alleged meddling in a corruption probe is a bigger violation of voter trust than ex-Gov. Eliot Spitzer soliciting prostitutes.

Fordham Law School Professor Zephyr Teachout took to the radio Thursday morning to question Cuomo’s role in interfering with the Moreland Commission, an anti-corruption panel he launched last year with the broad charge to investigate public malfeasance.

On public radio’s “The Capitol Pressroom,” Teachout reiterated her call for Cuomo to resign—but only if he knew of top aide Larry Schwartz’ actions in curtailing subpoenas to Cuomo allies, as detailed in Wednesay’s New York Times.
