New York-Sept. 23...Cuomo Administration employees seeking to expose corruption are being provided with a new, confidential online tool called CuomoLeaks.com beginning today, the campaign of New York gubernatorial candidate Marc Molinaro announced. CuomoLeaks.com allows users to confidentially post information about improper or potentially illegal activities occurring within Andrew Cuomo’s government.
“For months, my campaign has been receiving information from courageous state employees seeking to expose corruption and frustrated by the refusal of New York State law enforcement figures to act on what they view as clear illegalities,” Mr. Molinaro said. “We have received countless calls, often in whispered tones, about the Governor’s former top aide and MTA board member Larry Schwartz meddling in state affairs; politically motivated waste at the AIM Photonics center in Rochester; improper use of the Tax Department to punish political enemies; the abuse of sexual harassment witnesses at DCJS; the waste of taxpayer dollars to meet ribbon cuttings for the Governor; the Governor’s office meddling in investigations and contracts at Upstate Medical Center; the diversion of taxpayer funds to underwrite Andrew Cuomo’s 2020 political agenda… and the list goes on. In creating CuomoLeaks.com, we are speaking directly to those brave individuals, and others like them, and providing them with a secure, confidential online tool with which they can pass along information that needs to see the light of day.”
Mr. Molinaro provided at a news conference in Tarrytown announcing CuomoLeaks.com a copy of a government document he recently received proving that contractors working on the closure of the old Tappan Zee Bridge, and the opening of the new one, were rushed to open the new bridge in time for Governor Cuomo’s pe-primary ribbon cutting despite significant cost and public safety concerns.
“This is not how a state with proper checks and balances operates,” Mr. Molinaro continued. “Government whistleblowers should be able to safely rely on enforcement agencies to pursue justice where it is due. But in Andrew Cuomo’s New York, in a New York with sham ethics agencies like JCOPE, power politics is valued over the truth. I send a message today to those brave voices on the other end of the line: what you are doing is right; what they are doing is wrong, and help is on the way.”
