Chuck Schumer accuses Cuomo of withholding pandemic money from NYC: Dem leader hands $32BN DIRECT to Mayor de Blasio and says city doesn't always see the cash it's due

Senator Chuck Schumer claimed on Thursday that money directed toward New York City does not always make it past the state legislature in Albany in an apparent swipe at Governor Andrew Cuomo.

The Senate Majority leader made the comment as he announced a massive COVID vaccine push in NYC which will see him hand $32billion allocated for the shots in the COVID relief bill in December straight to the city's Mayor Bill de Blasio.

The New York Senator also promised an injection of an extra $6billion in other federal aid through stimulus checks and funding for the MTA as he praised de Blasio and promised Big Apple residents 'help is on the way'.

He did something that pissed off a lot of people in powerful places, and I don't buy the nursing home deaths as the reason. That's being used as a pretext, everyone knew that was happening a year ago and the Democrats didn't care then.

Really makes you wonder what's really going on.

So what is new?

This has probably been going on for at least 100+ years.

Government is crooked, bigger governments get more crooked.
It’s basically the democrat template, schumer designed it and now he complains.

Obama doesn’t screw around, he wants Andy buried. This is all to protect Harris’s flank in 24 IMHO.

“$4,000 per jab.”

Good lord! I’m in the wrong business.
