The criticism usually goes in the other direction: that a politician is too soft on an industry that contributed significant campaign contributions. In the era of the Koch brothers / Super PACs, everybody has contributions from one industry or another. Unless there's something I'm missing, it would seem a positive thing overall that financial industry contributions to Andrew Cuomo's campaign didn't keep him from analyzing and stumping over their bonuses later. Note: Andrew Cuomo is a name I'm only vaguely aware of. I don't know anything about him outside of what I've learned from the article, and these comments. I have no opinion on whether he should or shouldn't be elected. So the above would apply to any given politician who behaved similarly.
