“#Standing up to Gov. Cuomo is an ‘ethical duty’ for lawmakers<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

With Gov. Cuomo in full \u201cdemonize the truth-tellers\u201d mode, the Legislature clearly needs to start getting ready for impeachment, as Assemblyman Ron Kim (D-Queens) demands.<\/p>\n

Kim mentions the governor\u2019s threats to \u201cdestroy\u201d him personally if the legislator didn\u2019t go along with Cuomo\u2019s effort to spin his top aide\u2019s confession that Cuomo\u2019s team intentionally hid (from lawmakers and the public) the truth about COVID deaths in long-term-care homes.<\/p>\n

That conspiracy to hide the truth began\u00a0as soon as a question from The Post\u2019s Bernadette Hogan revealed the horrific Department of Health order that long-term-care homes accept COVID-contagious patients whom\u00a0hospitals wanted to dump.<\/p>\n

The DOH suddenly switched to an only-in-New-York method of counting long-term-care-home deaths \u2014 leaving out fatalities that occurred after a resident was sent to the hospital. And for long months, it refused to share the true figures, stonewalling Freedom of Information Law requests and demands from the Legislature.<\/p>\n

The intentional undercount let Cuomo claim, time and again, that the Empire State was doing better than most in keeping the homes safe, when, in fact, it was worse than average.<\/p>\n

Kim also notes that Cuomo, in a last-minute addition to the state budget, had snuck through a law granting hospitals and care homes immunity from lawsuits over their COVID care, \u201con behalf of his top campaign donor, the Greater New York Hospital Association.\u201d It seems likely that hospital lobbyists also got the governor to issue the March 25 order \u2014 and not rescind it until mid-May.<\/p>\n

There remain plenty of questions about why Cuomo did what he did and who benefited.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lawmakers, Kim says, have \u201can ethical duty to stand up to this governor or become accomplices.\u201d It\u2019s \u201ctime to start the impeachment process.\u201d We couldn\u2019t agree with him more.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
