“The new boss is the same as the old boss. With each passing day of her nascent governorship, Kathy Hochul is proving herself to be complicit in Cuomo’s corrupt regime. JCOPE was designed by and for Andrew Cuomo and Hochul’s appointment of Cuomo loyalist James Dering just minutes before a vote was taken to reexamine approval for his illegal book deal is akin to obstruction of justice. Hochul is employing more of the same disgusting tactics that have allowed corruption to flourish in the Albany swamp and voters are fed up.”
