How about it, Gov. Cuomo?

We’ve long been dubious of claims that taking statewide New York City’s six-for-one matching system using public dollars is a cure for corruption. But if Cuomo is as serious about public financing as he claims to be, instead of trying to impose a pilot program on a fellow Democrat he’s been sparring with, he should be stepping forward to volunteer himself.

But there’s the rub. Because if the governor agreed to play by the rules of public finance, he would have to refund roughly half of the $33 million war chest he has ­accumulated.
