Popular conservative commentator Libs of TikTok exposed the controversial Democratic Governor of New York, Kathy Hochul, for her ties to a $9 billion rigged bidding contract she described as “Insane corruption.” Allegedly, Hochul ignored conflicts of interest to award massive state contracts.
For context, video evidence suggests that Hochul awarded a $9 billion contract to Public Partnerships LLC (PPL) to control a Medicaid home care program, sidelining 700 local businesses. A lawsuit claims the New York Department of Health pre-selected PPL, ran a sham bidding process, and ignored conflicts of interest, including PPL’s ties to Hochul’s advisors and a $5,000 campaign contribution.
Taking to X on February 26, 2025, prominent conservative Libs of TikTok posted, “BREAKING: Lawsuit details insane corruption from New York Governor Kathy Hochul where she RIGGED the bidding for a contract for a Medicaid program which is partially funded by the Federal Government. @TheJusticeDept @DOGE @AGPamBondi should look into this.”
Exposing the scandal, she attached a video to her post, which provided vital context. The video stated, “Governor Kathy Hochul recently awarded a $9 billion contract to an out-of-state company to monopolize control over medical services that nearly 700 local businesses provided to hundreds of 1000s of New Yorkers through a home care Medicaid program known as CDPAP.
Offering vital context, the video explained, “Herein lies the corruption. A lawsuit has been filed against the New York State Department of Health and the out-of-state company known as Public Partnerships LLC, or ppl, for short. The lawsuit explains how the New York Department of Health pre-selected ppl as the quote winner of a multi-billion dollar contract before the bidding process even took place. The State Department then ran a sham bidding process in order to cover up for that pre-selection.
Backing up these shocking claims, the video reported, “Evidence of this cover-up includes the fact that multiple reporters and individuals at the Center for Disability Rights were informed by numerous sources of ppl pre selection prior to the bidding. Two months before submissions were due, the 1199 SEIU Healthcare Workers Union announced that the DOH had informed them that ppl had obtained the contract.

Still not done, the video said, “The OOH played an extended role in carrying out this fraud by also reportedly manipulating and failing to enforce Express requirements for contract scoring metrics and qualifications for subcontractors, leading to ppl scoring significantly higher overall.”
