All things NY fraud.

[Bigfoot]

Isn't family, friends, or a trusted neighbor babysitting someone's kids a thing anymore?
That's how it was done when I was growing up.

It didn't cost the taxpayers anything. The parents would pay the babysitter out of their pocket, and it wasn't that much money for a babysitter. Oftentimes, if it was a family member, it didn't cost the parents anything.

Besides that, if I had kids, I would rather have family, friends, or a trusted neighbor babysitting
my kids rather than a stranger at a day care/childcare place.

Did I mention the old way of doing things as far as childcare/babysitting didn't cost the taxpayers anything? I don't remember daycare/childcare even being a thing in the 1970s.

When I was a kid, a trusted person (babysitter) would make a few bucks babysitting someone's kids, and the kids' parents would directly pay the babysitter for it. It was a good way for a responsible, usually high school-aged girl to earn some money.

Times have changed, and as usual, not for the better. IMO

Besides that, why are MY taxes paying for OTHER PEOPLE'S kids to be supervised?
Having to pay school taxes to educate OTHER PEOPLE'S kids pisses me off too.
One of the reasons the wife and I didn't ever have kids is that they cost money.
So it really pisses me off that I have to pay for OTHER PEOPLE'S kids.

If we had a real press corps, doing their jobs, they would follow the money and uncover a massive fraud scheme perpetrated by the Democrats and Rino's just like dozens of corrupt schemes before this one.
And once again, we pay the tab. But let's get those pesky E-bikers, cuz gubermwnt is the only solution.

Just a nice Bio on the Bitch running things here in NY.

:

The current governor of New York was never elected to the job. She got it because Andrew Cuomo was a predator who resigned in disgrace. Since then, she’s presided over the largest population exodus of any state, a migrant crisis she helped create, a $ she can’t balance, and an approval rating so low that members of her own party are openly plotting to replace her. Here’s the full picture.

: ’

Born Kathleen Mary Courtney on August 27, 1958, in Buffalo, New York. Her father was a steelworker; the family lived in a when she was young. Irish Catholic, working-class roots — and she talks about it constantly. She graduated from Syracuse University and earned a law degree from Catholic University in D.C., then worked as a corporate lawyer and Capitol Hill aide.

She served on the Hamburg Town Board, then as Erie County Clerk for 4 years. In 2011, she won a special election for Congress in a deep-red district — but lost it a year later when it was redrawn. After two years out of office, Andrew Cuomo plucked her from obscurity to be his running mate in 2014. She was chosen not for her talent but for her geography — a woman from upstate to balance a New York City governor. She served as lieutenant governor for seven years, a job she later admitted was largely ceremonial. “ ’ ”, she told a reporter.

Then on August 24, 2021, Andrew Cuomo resigned after the New York Attorney General found he had sexually harassed . Just like that, Kathleen Courtney Hochul — the woman nobody chose, nobody vetted, and nobody outside of Western New York had heard of — became the 57th governor of the state of New York. Not by election. By accident.

- —

One of Hochul’s first acts as governor was to reveal what Cuomo had hidden: the state had undercounted COVID nursing home deaths by , — bringing the true toll to over , elderly New Yorkers who died after Cuomo’s administration ordered COVID-positive patients back into nursing facilities (NY AG Report). It was the right thing to do. Cuomo’s cover-up was a scandal of historic proportions.

And then Hochul buried it. When the U.S. House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic investigated the nursing home deaths, Hochul’s administration despite from Congress (House Select Subcommittee). She stonewalled a bipartisan investigation into the deaths of 15,000 elderly citizens. The same cover-up she exposed under Cuomo, she perpetuated under her own name. The families of those , never got answers — not from Cuomo and not from Hochul.

:

Hochul’s husband, ., serves as — a multibillion-dollar hospitality and gaming conglomerate based in Buffalo. Delaware North operates casinos, stadiums, airports, and resorts across the country. The company has spent over $, Hochul’s office since she became governor ( ).

While her husband collected his salary from Delaware North, Hochul championed the most controversial stadium deal in New York history: a $. for a new Buffalo Bills stadium — at the time the largest taxpayer contribution to a professional sports facility in American history. Delaware North operates the ’ . Her husband’s company directly profits from the deal she pushed through with public money. She has dismissed conflict-of-interest questions as “”.

: $.

When the migrant crisis hit New York in 2022, Hochul initially embraced it. New York was a “sanctuary” state. The city that never sleeps would welcome everyone. Then the bills arrived.

New York has allocated over $. for illegal immigrant services — housing, healthcare, food, legal aid (NY Comptroller). At the peak, the city was spending $ to house migrants in hotels — nearly double the $ it spent to shelter its own homeless population. Think about that: illegal immigrants got better accommodations than American citizens sleeping on the streets.

By January 2025, the money ran out. Hochul cut off new funding for migrant services — after years of promising that the federal government would reimburse the state. The reimbursement never came. $. of New York taxpayer money, gone. Hotels converted to shelters. Schools overcrowded. Emergency rooms overwhelmed. And when it became politically untenable, she reversed course and pretended she’d been tough on the issue all along.



People are leaving New York in droves. Between 2024 and 2025, New York lost a net , to other states — the - of any state in America (U.S. Census). A % of those who left cited housing costs as the primary driver. Families, businesses, and tax revenue are fleeing to Florida, Texas, the Carolinas — anywhere that doesn’t tax you into poverty and then spend your money housing illegal immigrants in hotels.

This isn’t a blip. New York has lost congressional seats in two consecutive redistricting cycles because the population keeps shrinking. The state that was once the center of American gravity is hemorrhaging its own citizens, and Hochul has done nothing to reverse it.

: $ $

Hochul’s latest state budget is $ — the . Despite record spending, the state faces a projected deficit exceeding $ (NY Comptroller). Her solution: more taxes, more fees, more tolls. She championed congestion pricing in Manhattan — a $15 toll on every car entering below 60th Street — then weeks before implementation when it became clear voters would revolt, then - after the election. She governs by political wind, not conviction.



In 2021, Hochul maintained a even after courts began striking down similar mandates. The result: New York lost over , who refused the vaccine and were fired or quit (Empire Center). Nurses, doctors, EMTs, home health aides — gone. In a state already facing a healthcare staffing crisis, she made it catastrophically worse. Rural hospitals and nursing homes were hit hardest. Some facilities couldn’t fill shifts for months.



A December 2024 poll found that only % of New York voters would re-elect Hochul — making her one of the heading into the 2026 cycle (Siena College). Democrats in Albany are openly discussing primary challengers. The woman who got the job because Cuomo was too toxic to stay is now too toxic herself to keep it.



A woman who became governor because the last one was a predator. Who exposed , — then blocked Congress from investigating them. Whose husband works for a company that lobbied her office while she steered $. in public money to a stadium his company profits from. Who spent $. housing illegal immigrants in hotels at $ while her own citizens couldn’t afford rent. Who lost , in a single year and , to a mandate she refused to lift. Who passed the and still has a $ . And whose own party can’t wait to replace her.

Every number is sourced. Every dollar is on the record. Every scandal is public.
