Hundreds of New Yorkers are bracing for their pink slips right before the holidays at the same time the signature jobs program of Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo is being audited by the state comptroller.
State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli announced last week he is auditing Cuomo’s Start-Up New York program and its use of taxpayer funds.
The governor claims that the program has created more than 2,000 jobs. However, a review of recent WARN notices by the Washington Free Beacon show several thousand jobs lost in the past six weeks alone. From Oct. 23 through today, new and amended WARN notices show more than two dozen companies have announced job losses and plant closings.
