Cuomo launches rehab campaign

                                                                                   

As predicted, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who resigned under pressure last August,  launched his comeback bid by releasing his first commercial today,  mocking Attorney General Letitia James's sexual harassment accusations against him and accusing her of misconduct.

He also emailed the commercial to supporters, asking them to watch it, and then share with friends and family.

James last year released a scathing report on Cuomo's handling of the coronavirus cases in nursing homes, accusing him of under-counting the number of deaths that occurred after he ordered recovering patients into the long care facilities regardless of infection status.

Nobody paid much attention.

But then she released a report accusing him of illegally sexually harassing at least 11 women. After every fellow elected Democrat in the state called for him to step down, Cuomo resigned but declared he was innocent of all accusations.

Since then, five district attorneys across the state have declined to pursue charges against the former governor.

James, who had been running hard for governor, suddenly dropped out and decided instead to seek re-election as Attorney General. Pundits suspected Cuomo had a hand in James' decision but had no idea how.

Maybe there will be a hint tomorrow when candidate petitions start circulating for the June primary and next November's general election.

Will Cuomo attempt another run for office or support somebody who is making that run? He left office with $18 million in his campaign account and has only spent a few million so far on his defense.

We'll see.

Below is a screenshot of the email.

On January 23, 2022, the Times Union reported that "other records that were not publicly released by the Attorney General's office — and information that was redacted from many of the transcripts — reveal that the Attorney General's investigators apparently did not follow up on leads that may have called into question some of the sworn testimony that formed the basis of their conclusion that Cuomo had sexually harassed multiple women."

 

The AG hid from the public that the first accuser witness tampered by threatening to 'destroy his life' if he didn't back up her allegations.                                                                                         

 

The AG didn't consider or disclose that the second accuser had a history of colluding with others to make false allegations of sexual assault against a student when at Hamilton College.      

                                                                         

The AG falsely credited the allegation of a woman who made the outrageous claim that she was assaulted only to have the District Attorney dismiss the charges, concluding that 'after reviewing the available evidence' he 'could not secure a conviction'.

CSEA retirees file suit to stop new contract insurance change (Updated)

Image
Civil Service Employee Association retirees today were in court attempting to stop a change in health insurance included in a new union contract scheduled to take effect Jan.1. The "Nassau Retirees Legal Fund" and eight other CSEA employees argue in a class action lawsuit filed today against Nassau and County Executive Bruce Blakeman in Nassau Supreme Court that they face  " imminent and irreparable medical, emotional, and financial harm because the County intends to deprive them of promised health benefits in 2024." The new contract negotiated between the union and Republican County Executive Bruce Blakeman and ratified by members in August changes the health insurance from New York's Empire plan -- which provides platinum coverage -- to the New York Excelsior plan. The Excelsior plan is more costly for union members but less expensive for the county.  Update:  The state, meanwhile, has increased rates for the Excelsior plan -- in come cases by more than 40 pe

Nassau CSEA contract deal -- talk of the county for two days -- finally announced (UPDATED)

Image
Talk around Nassau County for the past two days has been that Republican County Executive Bruce Blakeman had struck a new labor agreement, signed Monday, with the county's largest union, the Nassau Civil Service Employees Association. The CSEA, which include most non-law enforcement county employees, has been working without a contract since the end of 2017. As of June, there were 3,359 fulltime CSEA members. An announcement went out late today but it didn't say much: A spokesman for Republican County Executive Bruce Blakeman did not respond to an email today asking when the CSEA deal would be announced. Everyone is looking at the CSEA because exempt employees -- county workers who are hired and fired at will -- traditionally are given the same benefits as the union members. But the exempts are not happy with some of the rumors about the agreement: one is that the CSEA will take a lesser health insurance plan in return for an upfront payment, perhaps of $1,500, for each member.

Capetola, a colorful Republican lawyer, has operated Carltun on the Park since 1995 through various license agreements and extensions under four different county executives, Republican and Democrat. But the county selected EGB Hospitality LLC of Manhasset from two proposals for a new 15-year operating license that begins this fall, with another five-year option, according to the deal submitted to the county legislature for approval on Monday. Lawyer Elias Trahanas, of Great Neck appears to be the lead principal in the five-member EGH group, along with his brother Bobby.  EGB Management Team Both Elias and Bobby trace their food service roots to the family-operated Golden Reef Diner in Rockville Centre, s
