A bunch of white businessman, they almost all gave generously to Gov. Cuomo.

Any politician would say they’re not beholden to large donors, but large donors certainly get their foot in the door and the chance to bend the recipients’ ear. According to analysis of data from the National Institute on Money in State Politics,
the top 10 largest individual donors to New York candidates in this
election cycle were – despite all being residents of New York – not
representative of the average New Yorker: nine of them are men and all
of them white. Most are corporate executives, including three in the
financial and investment industry, two in the health industry and two
who work primarily in real estate, while others have significant real
estate investments.
This list includes donations to candidates for
Congress or the U.S. Senate from New York, candidates for statewide
office and the state Legislature, or their campaign committees. It does
not count local elections.
