Syracuse, N.Y. - They were once the biggest political donors in Central New York,
but the principals in Cor Development have completely dropped out of
the campaign finance world since they were brought up on federal
corruption charges in 2016.
Fayetteville developers Steven Aiello and Joseph Gerardi are
scheduled to appear in federal court in Manhattan next week on charges
of bribing a former top aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, then lying about it.
They deny the charges.
Before their fall from grace, Cor entities, Aiello, Gerardi and other
family members and associates in the company were the biggest CNY
donors to state and local politicians.
Over a decade, they gave nearly $500,000 to Cuomo, state legislators,
former Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner, Onondaga County Executive Joanie
Mahoney, District Attorney William Fitzpatrick and other elected
officials. They had also contributed to U.S. Rep. John Katko's campaign.
Their 2017 contributions totaled $0, according to campaign finance
reports filed this week with the New York State Board of Elections.
