23 February 2021: Polls Bad, Subpoenas Served?

Majority of New Yorkers think Cuomo botched COVID-19 in nursing homes: poll

This report indicates that 61% of New Yorkers responding to a Marist College poll believe Governor Cuomo has mishandled COVID in the state's nursing homes. This report also indicates Governor Cuomo's job approval rating has dropped below 50%, down from a 66% approval rating in July.

Cuomo dodges subpoena question on nursing home probe

Has Governor Cuomo or members of his administration been served with subpoenas by authorities investigating the allegations surrounding his policies and actions related to the deaths of nursing home residents from COVID-19?

This report indicates Governor Cuomo doesn't want to make the answer to that question public.

Gov. Cuomo refused to say whether he or his top officials have received or responded to subpoenas as federal prosecutors probe New York's handling of nursing homes during the COVID crisis.

It's as if Governor Cuomo believes the people do not have a right to know anything about his or his administration's actions and conduct.
