Cuomo administration conceals records behind controversial nursing home study

Isn’t it convenient that the Cuomo Administration was able to investigate itself, absolve itself and then refuse to show how it came to that conclusion. Sure, nothing fishy here, right Il Duce?

ALBANY — After months of furor from mourning families, the administration of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo issued a report in July absolving itself of blame for thousands of COVID-19-related deaths at nursing homes in New York. Although Cuomo portrayed the findings as definitive proof, six months later, his administration is refusing to back up the findings by providing copies of the records that were the basis of the report’s conclusions. In response to a written request from the Times Union, the administration last week cited exemptions in the state Freedom of Information Law which the Department of Health contends allows the agency to keep the records secret.
