How NY Dems used the COVID crisis to waste YOUR moneyBy NY Post Editorial Board
July 9, 2023
New York Dems have their own ugly take on Rahm Emanuel’s infamous dictum “You never let a serious crisis go to waste”: They seize on crises to get away with waste.
For proof, look no further than their outrageous COVID boondoggles.
First up? A damning new audit from the City Comptroller’s office reveals that, under then-Mayor Bill de Blasio, a medical staffing and services company won a contract allowing it to take taxpayers to the cleaners as it overstaffed vaccination sites and overcharged for the shots themselves.
Executive Medical Services charged as much as $2,423 for some jabs — and an insane $937 for some COVID tests.
That’s because the city’s $390 million deal with the firm was set up to encourage precisely this behavior.
That’s more than poor oversight. It’s a blatant invitation to grab as much cash as possible before the gravy train leaves the station.
But it lines up 100% with what was going on at the state level.
