"Cuomo gave immunity to nursing home executives after big campaign donations"
Guardian (David Sirota)  &
"INVESTIGATION: Cuomo Gave Immunity to Nursing Home Execs After Big Donations —
Now People Are Dying"  Daily Poster

 "Cuomo signed legislation last month quietly shielding hospital and nursing home executives
from the threat of lawsuits stemming from the coronavirus outbreak. 

"And then came Cuomo’s annual budget — which included a little-noticed passage..."

"the carefully sculpted passage buried in the state’s annual spending bill"

"Democratic assemblyman Ron Kim said that 'the language of the (immunity) bill
and the entire proposal was drafted, submitted, and negotiated into law by Governor Andrew Cuomo and his staff.'
He is leading fourteen New York lawmakers in pushing legislation to repeal the language —
and some of them assert that the immunity provisions are linked to higher death rates in nursing homes."

 "As those critics now try to repeal the provision during this final week of Albany’s legislative session,
they assert that data prove such immunity is correlating to higher nursing home death rates during the pandemic –
both in New York and in other states enacting similar immunity policies."

"Cuomo-gate.  A Nixonian scandal is engulfing New York"
Guardian (David Sirota)
"The scandal is a cautionary tale of hubris, megalomania and corruption that left
a literal mountain of preventable Covid-19 deaths in its wake.
Now we are about to see whether a blue state’s democratic institutions can hold wrongdoers accountable,
or whether America’s culture of impunity can once again protect the powerful
from facing any consequences at all."

"Andrew Cuomo Caved to Donors as he Shielded Nursing Home Bosses, Ron Kim Says"
Newsweek (David Sirota, Julia Rock)
 "[KIM]: What [Cuomo] has done over and over is try to implicate the assembly,
the Senate, and punt and distract from the actual problem at hand...
But the facts are the facts, and it's not going to go away and he's in the wrong,
and he needs to face the reality and the truth that he did something that could constitute an obstruction
of justice by hiding information from the Department of Justice for his own political gain."
