Anonymous3 days ago

Federal prosecutors are investigating whether New York City Council member Farah Louis, her sister Debbie Louis — an aide to Governor Kathy Hochul — and Brooklyn Democratic Party chairman's husband Edu Hermelyn accepted bribes or kickbacks in exchange for steering over $200 million in migrant shelter contracts to BHRAGS Home Care Inc. The probe adds to growing scrutiny of billions in no-bid emergency contracts awarded during New York City's asylum seeker crisis, which has cost taxpayers more than $8 billion since 2022.
