Rep. Ritchie Torres calls for probe into alleged bid-rigging of Hochul’s massive $9B Medicaid home care contract

Bronx Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) opened a new front in his public war against Gov. Kathy Hochul — calling for an investigation into claims her office rigged a bid to oversee New York’s allegedly fraud-ridden $9 billion home care Medicaid program. Torres sent a letter to state and federal authorities urging them “to investigate alleged attempts by the Hochul Administration to put the $9 billion CDPAP [Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program] in the hands of a single out-of-state vendor with a questionable track record and to do so under false pretenses.”
