Gov. Kathy Hochul has revealed she’s as shameless as her predecessor. Challenged by the press Wednesday on her rancid COVID-test take care of marketing campaign donor Charlie Tebele, she doubled down: “I might do that each one once more.”
Is she holding any employees accountable? Nope: “They did what they did,” Hochul advised The Publish.
Give the gov props for unintentional honesty: She’s mainly promised countless, brazen pay-to-play shenanigans. No heads will roll as a result of her minions did precisely what she wished.
Once more, her marketing campaign reaped almost $300,000 from Tebele and his household. In the meantime, her employees took lower than a day to “evaluate” and settle for his firm’s provide to promote checks at a unit value greater than doublewhat the state was paying different distributors. (And twice what California paid for the very same checks, by merely going to the wholesaler.)
She’s since claimed she was “not conscious that this was an organization that had been supportive of” her when the deal was signed when Tebele had thrown her an in-person fundraiser simply weeks earlier than the deal went down.
Certainly, it was merely 4 days after that occasion that she suspended the competitive-bidding guidelines that may have blocked the $637-million no-bid deal.
About the identical time, Hochul’s marketing campaign employed Tebele’s son — and it later promoted him, tripling his wage, apparently proper after dad hosted a second fundraiser for the gov in April.
It’s exhausting to know what’s worse: Hochul’s shadiness or the truth that she appears 100% assured she’ll get away with it.
Any New Yorker who cares in regards to the state must vote for her opponent Lee Zeldin on Nov. 8. In any other case, she will do it once more.
