A New York City family has given Governor Kathy Hochul‘s campaign hundreds of thousands of dollars, while the state has paid the family’s company more than half a billion dollars.

Entrepreneur Charlie Tebele’s family donated close to $300,000 to Hochul’s campaign, according to an investigative report by the Times Union published Tuesday.

Meanwhile, New York paid hundreds of millions for COVID tests to Tebele’s company, Digital Gadgets. Since December, the New York Health Department has paid Digital Gadgets $637 million in taxpayer funds for COVID test kits, records show.

The health department reportedly did not conduct any competitive bidding before ordering the COVID tests from the company and paying it the enormous sum.

Smells like a Laundry. Wow a paltry 0.047% return. Dumb B!tch needs lessons from the Big Guy on how to shake down donors.

Here’s a thought experiment:

If a person tries to stab Hochul, would they be released from custody too?

No corruption there. Just move along you pions. Nothing to see. Just STFU and do what your betters tell you.

If George Pataki had done this, every media outlet in the state would have it on their front page for weeks.

Over a HALF BILLION sole-source contract with no bidding?

When I was conducting RFPs, we couldn’t go over $30,000 sole-source and had to write lots of justification (REAL justification about the uniqueness of the supplier or their tech) and get lots of upper management approvals.

Big gummint = big corruption, best argument against big government.

All the tests are “Emergency Use Authorized” and have never been proven. I know of a person who went through 5 home “tests” one after the other until they got the positive they were looking for. These things are a cash cow and DNA harvesting tool in the case of nasal brushes.

Traitors all.

“Newsom’s secretive $1-billion mask deal with Chinese automaker sparks bipartisan concerns”

“...The governor's advisors have so far declined requests for information about the agreement with BYD, the Chinese electric car manufacturer hired to produce the masks, though the state has already wired the company the first installment of $495 million...”

Why were they looking for a positive result? To get a vacation from work? If I got four negative tests in a row, I would conclude I don't have it. It's weird to keep going until you get a positive result.

Somebody at a family member's work who is way into the hypochondria thing. They weren't even sick with anything but thought they were exposed. It's one of the weirder stories I've heard. Hard to believe formerly rational people are doing these things.

Probably awarded as an emergency expenditure, which does not require compedative bidding.

Those people really have a screw loose, don’t they?

Here in North Idaho, maybe half wore masks even at the peak and our results were better than many crazy states. But this summer I’ll see a few people wearing masks. They look like Martians.

Good point. But $600 million? That’s extreme.
