Statement from Senator Mike Martucci

Middletown, NY — Senator Mike Martucci released the following statement in response to Governor Andrew Cuomo’s comments that the CDC’s new guidance won’t yet be ending New York’s mask mandate:

“Governor Cuomo’s statement is blatant hypocrisy. In it, he claims to be relying on the science, yet in the same breath, he ignores the science from the CDC—an actual scientific authority. Instead, he wants Dr. Zucker — the same guy who signed off on the deadly Nursing Home Order — as well as his handpicked group of yes-men and fellow politicians to conduct their own “review.” 

“The Governor’s statement is as disingenuous as his earlier comments boldly claiming that he did “nothing wrong” with respect to the multitude of credible sexual harassment allegations against him. The experts have spoken, and Andrew Cuomo isn't one of them: the mask mandate is over!”
