Queens Assemblymember Ron Kim and Voices for Seniors met with Governor Kathy Hochul on Oct. 12, nearly two weeks after denouncing her over decisions that former Governor Andrew Cuomo made during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020.
“Governor Hochul is committed to transparency and restoring trust in government, and she looks forward to working with Assemblymember Kim on these priorities. On her first day in office, the Governor disclosed additional nursing home data, and she will continue to deliver transparency to New Yorkers on the impact of COVID-19 on nursing homes. Governor Hochul’s deep sympathy is with the families whose loved ones have been lost to the pandemic, and she appreciates Assemblymember Kim’s dedication to these important issues,” said Hazel Crampton-Hays, a spokeswoman for Hochul, in a statement.
