STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- In the wake of news alleging Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration conducted a cover-up of coronavirus (COVID-19) nursing home deaths, Staten Island Republicans have announced support for a state commission to investigate the governor’s handling of the outbreak in nursing home facilities.

“If we ever hope to restore the people’s trust in their state government, then it is crucial that the search for answers be a bipartisan one,” said Assemblyman Michael Reilly (R-South Shore). “This committee will allow us to navigate the Cuomo Administration’s web of lies and make a joint determination on how to best hold Governor Cuomo and other officials accountable.”
