I'm sure she's fine with it as long it is from HER donors. NY Gov. Kathy Hochul on $637M alleged pay-to-play scheme
Gov. Kathy Hochul tried to avoid blame Friday for a spiraling “pay-to-play” scandal in which one of her top political donors scored no-bid contracts that overcharged taxpayers for $637 million in COVID-19 test kits.
And she also brushed off the notion anyone in her administration should pay the price for it, telling The Post dismissively, “They did what they did.”
She just wanted as many COVID-19 tests as possible. It is pure coincidence that the guy who got the no-bid contract at an inflated price contributed (along with members of his family) $330,000 to her campaign. Nothing to see here. Move along.
New York might have saved as much as $286 million on the tests had the Hochul administration gotten a better price from the company, which the Times Union recently reported charged the state twice as much as other vendors selling the same test.
Well, those campaign contributions aren't going to make themselves.
She will be reelected because soft-on-crime, corrupt politicians are what the good people of New York want.
