14 August 2020: Opinion - Don't Let Cuomo Hide

Don't let Cuomo hide from his coronavirus nursing-home disaster

This opinion piece by Business Insider's Daniel L. Fisher directly contradicts Governor Cuomo's claim that criticism of his coronavirus nursing home policy is partisan and notes other contradictions in the governor's hostility toward an independent investigation of his administration's actions. Here's a key observation:

If he's certain his administration made no mistakes in ordering nursing homes to accept coronavirus patients, Cuomo should stop hiding and let the truth speak for itself in the form of an independent investigation.

Governor Cuomo's arguments against independent investigations of his administration's policies and actions during the coronavirus pandemic are not those of someone who truly believes their actions will stand up to serious scrutiny.
