Statement by NYS Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar
“New York State attorney general candidate Saritha Komatireddy has been warning New Yorkers for months that billions of dollars in potential Medicaid fraud is occurring right under the nose of Governor Kathy Hochul and failed Attorney General Letitia James, whose office is doing virtually nothing to recoup staggering annual taxpayer losses. The respected Empire Center just found Ms. James’s Medicaid fraud unit to be the worst in America.
“This comes as no surprise to anyone who has followed Ms. James’s career path. The Working Families Party creation is only interested in grandstanding at political press conferences. Actually doing the job of attorney general on behalf of taxpayers seems to be a foreign concept to her. New Yorkers are being robbed blind, and their attorney general has turned a blind eye to them. Is it any wonder that New Yorkers are the highest taxed people in America? Is it any wonder that so many are fleeing a state collapsing from one-party ‘progressive’ rule?”
