ALBANY - Larry Schwartz, Gov. Andrew Cuomo s former top aide, has long been a close ally of the governor, so much so that he was tapped last year to help lead the state s COVID-19 vaccine distribution.
But Schwartz recently played another role: calling Democratic county executives to gauge their support for Cuomo, who is battling for his political life amid myriad sexual harassment allegations.
Schwartz lobbying to get their backing of Cuomo while at the same time having a major role in how life-saving vaccines are distributed drew concern from the local leaders and a rebuke from the president of the state Association of Counties and County Executives Association.
