In Brooklyn, Teachout calls for investigation into LICH sale
Cuomo challenger calls hospital deal ‘classic corruption’
Zephyr Teachout, the Fordham law professor challenging Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the upcoming Sept. 9 primary, called for an investigation into the sale of Long Island College Hospital (LICH) during a press conference in Cobble Hill Saturday morning.
Brooklyn was the final stop on Teachout’s statewide “whistleblower tour” where she’s been visiting “some of the most egregious examples” of corruption in Albany, she said.
“The closing of LICH and the process through which the sale happened — a sale where a health facility becomes a real estate development – is classic corruption,” she told a gathering of community members and health care workers.
