What do Anthony Scaramucci, Harvey Weinstein’s attorney, and a New York City councilor accused of biting a cop at an anti-homeless shelter protest all have in common?

They’re among the dozens of people Andrew Cuomo’s mayoral campaign has so far enlisted to fundraise on its behalf, according to records reviewed by New York Focus.

The campaign has created at least 64 public fundraising web pages for people or entities to raise money for the former governor. At least 10 of them are listed in a city database of lobbyists and government contractors whose campaign finance activities are restricted.

New York Focus tracked down Nantwi’s cellmate, who recounted the day’s events through phone calls, electronic messages, and a handwritten letter. He requested that his name and location be withheld until grand jury proceedings in Nantwi’s killing commence, fearful that officers at his current facility will prematurely learn of his role in the case and retaliate against him.

The cellmate’s accounts match the New York Times’s reporting and the testimony of another witness who spoke to New York Focus. They offer new insight into the gruesome event, the investigation into it, and what incarcerated people have long described as abuse with impunity in New York state prisons.

The cellmate wonders how the prison system will protect him after he testifies and his identity becomes publicly known.

“That’s just a chance I’m taking,” he said. “I’m doing this for my friend.”

Tens of thousands of New York City families will soon lose financial assistance to pay for child care unless the state substantially increases funding for the program. Vouchers cover almost the entire cost of child care for low- and middle-income families around the state, and the program has expanded in recent years to help more people as the cost of child care has skyrocketed.

On Wednesday, 49 state legislators representing districts in New York City sent a letter to Governor Kathy Hochul and legislative leaders asking them to help close a $900 million funding gap for the program within the more than $250 billion state budget currently being negotiated.

“The elimination of these vouchers will lead to a significant spike in the child poverty rate in NYC, which at 26% of children is already higher than any time since 2017,” the letter reads. It called the vouchers “a lifeline for low-income families in NYC as the affordability crisis has deepened and cost of living continues to rise.”
