Governor Andrew Cuomo’s hiring spree of “special assistants” cost taxpayer’s $33.8 million during fiscal 2016-2017, the latest year for which information is available. Does one person really need 347 special assistants? Maybe they were hired to do this. Oh, the article says his campaign obtained the names of students who scored one of the state’s new Excelsior Scholarships and solicited them to appear in an ad promoting Cuomo’s re-election. I guess they were not aware of this: Federal law requires government and universities to protect students’ personal information and records. Leave it to the Governor to ignore the laws he doesn’t support and do what he pleases.
