If she did hear the rumors and did nothing, she is complicit in his wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p>If she truly did not know about it, then she is sorely uninformed about what is h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ening in the state government, she is surrounding herself with the wrong people and she does not deserve to be governor of New York. <\/p>\n<p><em>Joanna Hass<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Manhattan<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Hochul is an unproven quantity, who recently admitted that she spent very little time in Albany during the Cuomo years, and that she did not witness the toxic culture cited in Attorney <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> Letitia James\u2019 report.<\/p>\n<p>The Post seems to have high hopes for Hochul. Perhaps you are counting chickens before they hatch \u2014 or is it wishful thinking?<\/p>\n<p>It will be just a matter of time before she, too, will disappoint. We\u2019ve seen this movie many times before, when a new leader emerges to all kinds of fanfare and lofty expectations, only to fall flat on his or her face.<\/p>\n<p>Hochul\u2019s credentials are sketchy and nothing to rave about. She is a total stranger to most New Yorkers and those of us in the surrounding area. <\/p>\n<p><em>J. J.

It certainly isn\u2019t so he can work with the incoming Hochul, since he barely acknowledged her existence for the past six years.<\/p>\n<p>Is he spending his time destroying evidence of his wretched behavior?<\/p>\n<p><em>Robert DiNardo<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Farmingdale<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Although I have no horse in this race, I\u2019m optimistic that once she assumes the position, Lt.

Hochul will be the big breath of fresh air that New York politics desperately needs.<\/p>\n<p>She, in tandem with the presumptive next mayor, Eric Adams, can hopefully work together to right many of the wrongs done to New York state and to the city over the past decade.<\/p>\n<p>Above all else, everyone needs to take a step back and allow this woman the appropriate time to become situated, to get a full staff of her choosing in place, to see what has been swept under the carpet by previous administrations and to gradually effect positive, meaningful changes.<\/p>\n<p><em>Vincent Ruggiero<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Scottsdale, Ariz.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Issue: The Senate\u2019s passage of a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The lunatics who run our government just passed a $1.2 trillion so-called \u201cinfrastructure bill\u201d through the Senate that\u2019s really just a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a>ist wish list (\u201cDems split on infra bill,\u201d Aug. 14).<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, these fools were helped out by the supposedly sane party in Washington \u2014 the Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>Now the real fun begins: an even bigger $3.5 trill\u00adion bill is coming up soon, with no Republican votes needed for passage.<\/p>\n<p>Who\u2019s going to pay for all this new spending?
