Even if the Cuomo administration knowingly let Hoosick Falls residents drink poisoned water, the Assembly won’t hold hearings on it, because they might embarrass the governor.

That’s just about what Speaker Carl Heastie (D-Bronx) announced last week, though he didn’t have the guts to put it that way.

Heastie was explaining why the Assembly continues to block a look-see into the state’s worst environmental disaster in years, even though a bipartisan group of lawmakers (and even Heastie himself) saw them as critical just a few months ago.
