Who's up and who's down this week?

Usually the little guy doesn’t get much attention from inefficient and understaffed government bureaucracies – but sometimes that changes when a politician or the press shows up. This week, the lucky beneficiary of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s appearance at a Bronx public housing complex was Jeffrey Blyther, whose dilapidated and roach-infested unit was repaired by NYCHA within days of the governor’s visit. If only the city’s housing authority would be that proactive when nobody’s paying attention.

The federal judge sat through the seemingly interminable Percoco trial, presiding over innumerable ziti references, a star witness arrested and several notes by jurors crying “deadlock.” Nevertheless, she persisted. After jurors twice declared that they could not reach a consensus, she instructed them to deliberate further. At long last, this week, the jury found Joe Percoco guilty on three corruption-related charges. Caproni handled the trial with patience, professionalism and dry wit, and may be the only one involved who comes out looking good.

The congressional special election in Pennsylvania “was not about Nancy Pelosi” and “quite frankly, it’s sexist” to keep attacking her, the Queens congressman said in front of the cameras. So Crowley gets a Democrat elected in a Trump-supporting district, gets to boost his “loyal Dem” credentials by publicly backing Pelosi, and gets to hide his joy that any growing anti-Pelosi sentiment gets him one step closer to the speakership.

Cuomo and his dazzlingly white teeth will help to brighten living rooms after the sun has set. That’s right, he’s moving to “Cuomo Prime Time,” taking over at 9 p.m. for Anderson Cooper, who currently anchors from the 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. slot. CNN is hoping that the outspoken Cuomo will help the station compete with Sean Hannity at Fox and Rachel Maddow at MSNBC during the 9 o’clock hour.

Joe Percoco got all the press, and got convicted. Among the business executives who rounded out the former Cuomo aide’s cast of co-defendents in the trial, Steven Aiello was also convicted of one count, while the jury couldn’t come to a conclusion about Peter Galbraith Kelly Jr. – leaving Joseph Gerardi, a Syracuse developer, as the only one to get off scot-free.

Mayor Bill de Blasio may not be able to hold onto a schools chancellor pick, but he’s more than happy to flex his muscles on the Panel for Education Policy. The low-power panel is meant as a check on the mayor, but that didn’t stop de Blasio from forcing out Cleveland after she dared vote against his interests – in favor of keeping open some struggling schools in Queens. All this after the mayor himself pledged that his appointees would maintain their independence.

The governor was shocked – shocked! – by Percoco’s corrupt behavior. In a move that was, um, presidential, Cuomo even had notes reminding himself that it was “Personal sad SHOCK-FAMILY.” Cuomo also insisted his own name never came up in the trial, although one “insightful reporter” noted it did come up 54 times. And in another mathematic matter that doesn’t quite add up, a total of 837 calls were made from Percoco’s phone in Cuomo’s government offices over the 68-day period in which Percoco had officially taken leave to run the governor’s campaign – a violation that Cuomo tried to explain away as “transition work.”

In yet another headache for the man in charge of the problem-plagued MTA, Lhota now needs to contend with a federal lawsuit against the authority. Geoffrey Berman, the new U.S. attorney for the Southern District, said the MTA broke the law by not installing an elevator as part of recent renovations at a subway station to make it accessible to riders with disabilities. This after catching flack from disability advocates when the MTA board approved subway renovation plans he supported at seven stations, which will not include elevators.

Say it ain’t so, Joe! In a week where all “three” sons of Mario Cuomo made our list, his “favorite” son arguably plummeted the farthest – from an allegedly corrupt insider to a politically accursed convict. Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s former executive deputy secretary and longtime confidant was declared guilty of soliciting and accepting more than $300,000 in bribes. There’s no question who the black sheep in the family is now.

Choo choo! Here comes Thomas the Tainted Politician pulling into a courtroom near you. The Mount Vernon mayor is now charged with stealing campaign funds, keeping a slush fund and appointing an unqualified man to a top post after the man paid off Mayor Dick’s AMEX card. Richie apparently spent his allegedly ill-gotten gains on a gas-guzzling Ford Explorer, a $2,000 Chanel purse, and … holy guacamole! Who eats Bubba Gump Shrimp in Mexico?
