Gov. Andrew Cuomo wasnt taking any chances that there might be empty seats at a speech he delivered last week on climate change so state workers were summoned on the taxpayer dime to fill the audience, The Post has learned.
The workers said they left their jobs in the middle of the day Thursday and were paid their full salaries to hear Cuomo at Columbia University announce the state was joining a global effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Id rather be at the park, said one of the workers, who is employed by the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation and who has no connection to climate issues.
He explained that he went because his boss asked me to make some time available in my schedule. The worker confessed that he didnt know what the event was about before he agreed to go . He said attendance is not required, but is viewed favorably, and that the practice is common throughout state government to support Cuomo.

Using state or school employees for a political event is illegal in my state. A school district employee narrowly escaped prison for this offense.

This is criminal misuse of taxpayer's money.
This is also further proof, as if any more proof was needed, that Democrat politicians are frauds.
The biggest fraud of all is that they are Democrats because in fact they are communists and with it all that being communists historically means, e.g., power happy liars, cheaters, murderers.
