NY lawmakers want probe of how Cuomo also ordered homes for disabled to accept coronavirus patients
Fox News
A New York state Democratic leader said that after a conversation with a Republican colleague he may open an investigation into a still-in-effect directive from Gov. Andrew Cuomo that requires group homes for the developmentally disabled to accept residents who have tested positive for coronavirus but are "medically stable."
"Sometimes Republicans are right," Skoufis told the New York Post. Skoufis, who had received a letter asking for an investigation, said he had spoken to his committee's ranking Republican member, Sen. Mike Martucci, about Cuomo's directive, which was issued on April 10, 2020 – 16 days after the nursing home order. The nursing home directive was rescinded in May, but the one for group homes remains.More Related News
