There are so many state and federal officers being investigated for fraud and different crimes, costing taxpayers a fortune.
Many people say they’re drained of listening to in regards to the fraud and are drained of subpoenas and hearings, when there are by no means any arrests and convictions that comply with — I agree.
All we ever hear is “we can fix it and make sure it doesn’t happen again.” Give me a break — I’m so sick and drained of listening to that phrase.

The Issue: Gov. Hochul’s help for Mayor Mamdani’s multibillion-dollar universal-child-care plan.
How a lot fraud, corruption and waste will go on in Mayor Mamdani’s child-care program (“Kat pushing for Zo’s child care,” Dec. 29)?
First, I believe there shall be “nonprofits” to supervise it; $2 million right here and $5 million there’ll go to teams who simply “spread the word.” Then, phony day cares will get more tens of millions. And Mamdani and his administration? I wager they’ll fill their pockets with tens of millions; their playbook is Minnesota.
It’s already working as silly puppet Gov. Hochul can’t give Mamdani help fast enough.

So, Hochul is pushing for a multibillion-dollar, tax-funded common child-care program, claiming “Mamdani is going to surprise a lot of people.”
She’s going to be shocked when she discovers too late that the rich residents anticipated to finance this program may have fled New York.

Raising taxes to pay for common youngster care will make New York more costly for many who don’t benefit from it.
Higher prices will pressure moms who wish to keep home with their kids to hitch the workforce. “Free” youngster care isn’t free for them.
