“#DiNapoli must request AG investigate Team Cuomo’s nursing-home coverup<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli needs to formally ask Attorney General<\/a> Tish James to open an investigation into Gov. Cuomo\u2019s disastrous handling of nursing homes \u2014 and do it yesterday. <\/p>\n

Aside from Cuomo himself, only DiNapoli has the authority to make such a referral to the AG, and so enable a state investigation with subpoena power. An AG investigation \u201cwould allow New Yorkers to truly learn the full extent of the nursing-home crisis,\u201d wrote families associated with Voices for Seniors in asking the comptroller to act. <\/p>\n

Vivian Rivera Zayas and her sister Alexa Rivera founded that advocacy group after their mom died in a Long Island nursing home. \u201cAs citizens of the state, we want to know if and how state resources were used to cover up the number of nursing-home deaths, and if so, who ordered it? Did state employees work together to tamper with official documents?\u201d<\/p>\n

Excellent questions \u2014 and ones Team Cuomo won\u2019t answer willingly. <\/p>\n

DiNapoli\u2019s communications director, Jennifer Freeman, told The Post, \u201cWe are still reviewing the request.\u201d Why wait? This is a no-brainer. <\/p>\n

Cuomo & Co. spent months stonewalling requests from lawmakers, the press and watchdog groups for key info on the coronavirus in nursing homes \u2014 hiding the data that show its March 25 order requiring homes to admit COVID-contagious patients led to needless deaths. Only James\u2019 January report calling out the state\u2019s 50 percent undercount of nursing-home deaths forced the gov\u2019s people to start telling (some of) the truth. <\/p>\n

Along the way, top Cuomoites bullied the Department of Health into dropping the true numbers from its whitewashing July report. One of them, Melissa DeRosa, also lied to state lawmakers about the reason for the conspiracy to hide the truth \u2014 blaming a federal investigation that only started months after the coverup began.<\/p>\n

DiNapoli needs to get the ball rolling: New Yorkers \u2014\u00a0especially the families of the 15,000-plus COVID nursing-home fatalities \u2014\u00a0deserve to know exactly what went on behind the scenes, and why.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
