Oberacker To Zucker:
Resign Over AG Report
Of Low COVID-19 Count
Subpoenas Should Be Issued, Senator Adds
ALBANY – Newly elected state Sen. Peter Oberacker, R-Schenevus, joined his Assembly colleague today in reacting to Attorney General Letitia James’ report that the Cuomo Administration underreported COVID-19 nursing home deaths by 50 percent.
Supporting Senate Republican Leader Rob Ort, Oberacker called for the “immediate resignation” of state Health Commissioner Howard Zucker.
“I join with Senate Republican Leader Ortt in calling for the immediate resignation of Health Commissioner Howard Zucker. “
“Additionally,” he continued, “it is time for subpoenas to be issued and a full independent investigation conducted – those we have lost and their families deserve a true accounting.”
A statement from Oberacker’s office concluded:
“The report from the Attorney General proves what we already knew – bad policies emanating from the governor’s administration greatly jeopardized the health and well-being of our most vulnerable.
“Both Governor Cuomo and his Health Commissioner have dodged questions relating to COVID related deaths in our nursing homes, hidden the true statistics, and advanced policies that contributed to increased casualties.”
Thank you sir for taking a stand demanding truthful answers! As a daughter of an elderly, vulnerable woman who died a victim of the nursing home fiasco, I appreciate your efforts.
Thank you Peter!! Get rid of both of them!!! They are liars and very dangerous!!! Give credit to the AG.
Also take back your power from that arrogant condescending dangerous individual!!!
He put our state in a 17 billion deficit!!!
