Union health care workers and local leaders gathered at 1199 SEIU offices in Buffalo Tuesday to sound the alarm over federal Medicaid changes they say could strip coverage from thousands of Western New Yorkers starting in January.

Report details billions of dollars affected by lack of fiscal oversight in New York

(The Center Square ) – The State Financial Officers Foundation and federal money accountability watchdog Open the Books details what it characterizes as the “abysmal” lack of fiscal oversight in New York that mostly took place under Gov. Kathy Hochul’s administration and includes billions in unidentified Medicaid money and improper payments related to pandemic unemployment. CEO of the State Financial Officers Foundation OJ Oleka told The Center Square that “the hardworking taxpayers who fund New York's quarter-trillion-dollar annual budget simply deserve much better leadership and oversight from their state government.” Oleka said the new report “breaks down a pattern of abysmal fiscal oversight in New York State that has led to billions of tax dollars arriving at the wrong destination, whether because of blatant fraud or negligence. “That leaves taxpaying families spending more and the most vulnerable with a safety net filled with holes,” Oleka said. “A state already struggling with such sky-high costs can't continue in this direction without its residents feeling pain,” Oleka said. “We sincerely hope this information will lead to accountability gaps getting filled and enforcement errors being corrected.” According to the report entitled “New York's Honor System: How Gaps in Oversight Leave Taxpayer Dollars Vulnerable
