Issues: Senior Citizens Health and Health Care Legislative Branch

"Since June 15, 2020, Select Subcommittee Republicans have sent you, in your capacity as Governor of New York, or your former Administration five letters. To date, you have failed to respond. Your testimony is important to uncover the circumstances and policies which led to the death of more than 15,000 New York nursing home residents during your tenure. The victims' families deserve to know the truth. Therefore, we request you testify via an in-person transcribed interview. Accordingly, Select Subcommittee staff will contact you to schedule the interview reserving the right to conduct follow-up interviews if necessary to further our investigation.

BREAK

The Select Committee's goal is to ensure accountability and transparency, inform future public health decisions, and provide some semblance of closure to the thousands of families that lost loved ones because of COVID-19 in nursing homes and other long term care facilities,"
