The buck stops here was a sign that President Harry S. Truman displayed on his desk (not the Resolute Desk (get your own here)) during his tenure. We need some of that in New York State - from The Post Millennial:
Gov. Cuomo blames 'disinformation' and 'toxic political environment' for COVID nursing home deaths scandal
NY State Gov. Andrew Cuomo spoke to press on Monday and blamed the "toxic political environment" for the nursing home deaths cover-up, saying that he wanted to get the "facts" straight regarding the nursing home scandal in his state.
"This past year, there is a toxic political environment," he said, "and everything gets politicized. And there's political spin, and there are facts, two very different things. I just want to make sure people have facts."
New York State Attorney General Letitia James launched an investigation into the nursing home deaths in New York state, finding that the state drastically underreported the number of dead in nursing homes, but up to 50 percent.
A top Cuomo staffer then said that the deaths were intentionally obfuscated, so that there wouldn't be an issue with regard to that undercount. On Monday, Cuomo was asked to account for this, and to take responsibility for these acts of his administration.
More at the site. Typical obfuscation and backpedaling from a career bureaucrat. Rope. Tree. Some assembly required.
