3 March 2021: Odds and Ends for News Involving Governor Cuomo's Scandals

Here's a roundup of scandal-related news and opinion involving Governor Cuomo:

Will the calls for Governor Cuomo's resignation lead to calls and votes for impeachment now that Governor Cuomo has said he will not resign? Because if they don't, what does that say about the ethical integrity of those who made such a show of calling for his resignation from office?

Also, note the last story. Three other state governors (New Jersey's Phil Murphy, Pennsylvania's Tom Wolf, and Michigan's Gretchen Whitmer) implemented and sustained policies requiring nursing homes to admit COVID-19 patients, copying Governor Cuomo's policies. A fifth, California Governor Gavin Newsom, did as well, but rescinded the policy within a few days of going into effect, so California escaped having the same high death toll among its nursing home residents. The deadly scandal of forced COVID-19 patient admissions at nursing homes is bigger than just Governor Cuomo's scandal in New York.
