"I'm not interested in a popularity contest," said Torres, who has been on a recent tear against Hochul, to reporters Tuesday. "I'm not an Albany insider. I'm not a creature of Albany. I'm not here to go along to get along. I'm here to be a teller of hard truths."
Torres called for state and federal authorities to investigate Hochul's Department of Health over accusations it illegally steered a lucrative contract to a firm involving its Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program, or CDPAP.
The change pushed by Hochul was designed to get rid of the hordes of unchecked middlemen and instead hire a single company picked by the DOH to consolidate the work and hopefully end potential fraud.
Subsequent reporting also showed that the powerful and well-funded healthcare union 1199SEIU allegedly played a hand in the overall process.
