Feb 14, 2021 New York political leaders on both sides of the aisle are calling for actions, including a criminal investigation of Governor Andrew Cuomo and his top aides, and an end to the governor’s emergency powers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The outcry follows a New York Post report that the governor’s chief of staff said during a private meeting that the administration deliberately withheld key data on nursing home deaths during the pandemic. The New York Post published comments from a private video conference call between top Cuomo officials and several Democratic lawmakers, including the Chairs of the Assembly and Senate Health and Investigations Committees. The meeting was called to discuss the lawmakers’ frustrations over the Cuomo administration’s months-long withholding of key data on the over 15,0000 deaths at nursing homes and other adult care facilities during the pandemic so far.
