Neglect Cuomo 2.0 — with regards to utter shamelessness, Gov. Kathy Hochul has left her disgraced predecessor far behind.
Have a look at her latest fundraising rake-ins, bringing her to $45.8 million whole with weeks left to snarf up extra and $15 million greater than Cuomo raised 4 years in the past. Who's it coming from? Fats cats who may stand to learn (or have already got) from Hochul insurance policies.
Like Haim Chera, a bigwig at Vornado, who kicked in $47,700 proper after his firm’s huge Penn Station hornswoggle acquired a Hochul admin rubber-stamp(Chera’s boss Steve Roth maxed out his donations to Hochul).
Or director Steven Spielberg, who along with his spouse gave a complete of greater than $94,000 after Hochul’s finances prolonged the obscene film-industry tax giveaway.Upstate wi-fi tech titan John Mezzalingua handed over greater than $47,000 — weeks after Hochul signed the tech-handout “Inexperienced CHIPS” invoice.
As if this weren’t ugly sufficient, the gov stopped to snap photographs at a latest fundraiserwith native Dem apparatchik Maher Abdelqader, who likes to share anti-Semitic, Holocaust-denying content material on Fb.(Ignorance is not any excuse right here for Hochul: Home Rep. Rashida Tlaib already acquired slammed in 2019 over her contact with Abdelqader.)
And regardless of the plain catastrophe of our legal justice “reforms,” she picked lefty no-bail advocate Joshua Norkin as her deputy counsel,a slap within the face to the household of Tommy Bailey — allegedly murdered by a loopy let skate on a earlier rap beneath the insane guidelines— and numerous others.
No marvel former gov David Paterson says that “for the primary time in my life” he feels unsafe “simply strolling round” New York.
And no marvel that Hochul-endorsed Dems working in aggressive districts are preserving her at an actual distance — refusing to endorse Hochul again and even point out her endorsement on their web sites.
Paterson additionally notes that Dems “assume that they're immune from any sort of repercussions.”It’s clear Hochul does assume that — and that the one means New Yorkers could make themselves heard is to vote for Lee Zeldin on Nov. 8.
