pay-to-play
Nobody is working harder to prevent Democrats from retaking the House than Andrew Cuomo.
It seems like each week he’s entangled in a new scandal, from New York’s “Summer of Hell” to Milk-gate. Cuomo’s failed record continues to be an albatross for Democratic House challengers after he rallied alongside Nancy Pelosi and pledged to dedicate his time and State Party resources to support them.
Now he’s facing scrutiny for a pay-to-play scheme after raking in massive campaign contributions from a health care company’s executives who went on to receive shady state grants and issue massive insurance rate increases…
A company whose officials have been major donors to Gov. Andrew Cuomo – and which received an unusual $25 million state grant for projects it was already building – also was allowed by state insurance regulators to issue a huge rate increase for plans sold by its health care company.
Crystal Run executives, doctors or their spouses have given at least $400,000 to Cuomo, including 10 donations each worth $25,000 over a two-day period in October 2013.
Regardless of how this latest scandal shakes out, we will hold every House Democratic challenger responsible for Andrew Cuomo’s record of abuse and corruption.
