Andrew Gounardes Claimed He Wanted the LICH Bill for Hospitals, But He Failed to Sponsor It!
Governor Kathy Hochul vetoed the LICH Act – Senate bill 8843, which would have provided better state oversight before a hospital closure. (See bill)
It’s three days later and Senator Andrew Gounardes didn’t say anything about Hochul vetoing the LICH Act.
Other legislatures were very vocal about Hochul’s veto.
Governor Hochul gave this reason for vetoing the bill, but on social media people are pointing to hospital lobbyists:
Assemblywoman Jo Anne Simon challenges the hospital lobbyists claims.
Five days ago, Andrew Gounardes wrote on Twitter about the bill.
Gounardes had since the Spring to sign onto the bill. Why didn’t he?
Almost every senator voted for this bill.
Something is not right here. Why didn’t Andrew Gounardes sponsor this bill?
Help us figure out why Andrew Gounardes did not sponsor this legislation.
