Gov. Cuomo’s opponents feasted on word that his former right-hand man Joseph Percoco was sentenced to six years in prison Thursday — and blamed the two-term Democratic incumbent for allowing pay-to-play corruption to occur right under his nose.

“Andrew Cuomo was sentenced today — he just doesn’t have to do the time,” said Marc Molinaro, Cuomo’s Republican foe in November’s general election.

Molinaro noted that the chief architect of Cuomo’s key upstate economic development program, Alain Kaloyeros, will be sentenced later for a bid-rigging scheme along with three Buffalo and Syracuse developers who were major Cuomo donors.

Former Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner, who is mounting an independent bid for governor, said, “How many public officials have to be convicted before we act? Cuomo promised to clean up Albany, but we’ve had 8 years of the corrupt status quo.”

Miner, who once served as Cuomo’s hand-picked co-chair of the New York State Democratic Party, added, “We can’t trust the same people who created the problem — and benefit from it — to change Albany’s culture.”

Said state GOP chairman Ed Cox, “The trial of Cuomo’s closest aides revealed a corrupt, power-hungry operation with Cuomo at the core . . . Cuomo appears to be above the law, but voters have the power to hold him accountable.”

Letitia James, the Democratic nominee for state attorney general who has been endorsed by Cuomo, said, “As attorney general, I will have zero tolerance for corruption of any kind and will use every tool at my disposal to root out corruption in New York.”

Government watchdog groups said Albany is still a corrupt cesspool.

“State government is sick,” said John Kaehny, director of Reinvent Albany. “It’s like a town with dirty water and no health department. This epidemic will continue unless there is independent enforcement and strong laws.”
