NYGOP Chair Ed Cox has issued a statement following new reports regarding alleged corruption in New York’s Medicaid home care program. Cox criticized Governor Kathy Hochul and her administration, pointing to recent revelations about a no-bid contract.
“This is the latest example of the corruption, incompetence and political pay-to-play that define Kathy Hochul’s Albany,” said Cox.
He further stated, “Billions of taxpayer dollars have been funneled through a no-bid contract to a politically connected company that stole from thousands of vulnerable patients and home care workers. Even Democrats are now admitting what New Yorkers have long known: Hochul’s administration is rotten to the core.”
Cox called for transparency from the governor, saying, “Governor Hochul owes New Yorkers a full accounting of who profited, who knew, and how this no-bid boondoggle was allowed to happen. The corruption and mismanagement driving families from this state start right at the top.”
Kathy Hochul has served as the 57th governor of New York since 2021 and is the first woman to hold this office in the state. She is a member of the Democratic Party (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathy_Hochul).
