I know, for many people, learning that Andrew Cuomo was deliberately lying about nursing home death numbers while he was comforting them with power points is just too much cognitive dissonance, and they want to resolve it by making the problem go away, fingers in the ears.
But its not a one time thing and not the past.
Right now, its a central choice facing NY: do we stand with lawmakers who want to open up government, to legislate *with* the public, or do we give carte blanche keys back to the driver who crashed the car.

Think of the human cost of shutting down the Moreland Commission, the Buffalo Billions money lost to cronies, of the extreme micromanaging of who gets vaccines, ... and think of the thousands of families whose loved ones were treated as numbers to be shuffled away. It must stop.
IMHO we should focus on (1) a thorough independent investigation, and (2) immediately and publicly supporting lawmakers who want to rebalance power in Albany. Stop with the emergency powers. Stop with three people in a room.
That rebalance of power can transform the state.

Follow @SenatorBiaggi @yuhline @rontkim @NYSenatorRivera @JamesSkoufis @JuliaCarmel__ @samraforsenate @mannionfor50 @SRachelMay @JabariBrisport @SenGianaris and your state Senators and Assemblymembers. This is their great challenge and great moment.
And, of course, huge credit to Tish James for investigating the discrepancies and the treatment.
