For that first story....the $69-million with the WH guy making a recommendation but no one citing the name....I’d call it a bogus story. Either they produce the guy’s name, or the recommendation never occurred.
I can say that anyone carrying around $69-million in their pocket and willing to spend it....will carry a folder of notes, cost-estimates, time-lines for delivery, and signed statements. Something about this story just doesn’t ring true.
Albany may be trying to distract from the nursing home scandal.
