Good government groups are aghast that dozens of ex-staff for her campaign got paid by the state Democratic Party as money flowed in from an industry group representing hospitals
Campaign staff for Gov. Kathy Hochul had their post-election salaries effectively covered by the hospital industry — even as its top lobbying group pursued preferential policies in her proposed state budget.
Existing rules limit contributions to elected officials, but not the housekeeping accounts that are intended to help parties and legislative campaign committees run their day-to-day expenses. Hochul staffers made even more money from the party than the campaign itself – with the total costs increasing from roughly $250,000 a month to bout $363,000 while the campaign continued paying for ex-staffer health care costs through the end of 2022, according to The Buffalo News.
State party honcho Jay Jacobs has said the timing of payments to ex-Hochul campaign staff and donations from the hospital industry were “coincidental.”tied to the healthcare industry after he gave heavily to her campaign.
