State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman responded to a congressional inquiry, making clear that there was not one single substantiated claim of voter fraud in New York last year. Schneiderman wrote that the state’s voting system actually has restrictive laws, rules and procedures, as well as administrative errors, that both legally and illegally keep many New Yorkers from voting. Schneiderman also recently filed suit against the New York City Board of Elections for widespread violations that illegally purged over 200,000 New Yorkers from the voter rolls.
Governor Cuomo is calling for cuts in state funding for $25 million from 39 public health programs that fight cancer, diabetes and other conditions. Cuomo's administration said it will be up to state health officials to decide where to make the reductions, which are intended to make public health spending more efficient. Cuomo’s $152 billion budget proposal actually increases health care spending overall.
