New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind in under investigation
for corruption.
The investigation revealed dealings between Assemblyman Dov
Hikind’s advertising business and Maimonides Medical Center.
The Moreland Commission, a panel probing corruption in the
legislature of New York, described the evidence discovered about the
relationship between the elected official, and payments made to the company by
an anonymous entity.
The commission has reached "no conclusions at this
time," according to the report, but one email from a senior official of
the entity described a possible pay to play relationship.
For years, Hikind had not disclosed income payments made by
Maimonides and others to his advertising business, DYS Production according toa report by Crains New York.
Hikind received $65,000 from Maimonides Medical Center,
which has routinely lobbied Hikind for financing from the state.
Maimonides officials said the payments were for
advertisements that ran on Hikind's radio show as well as guest appearances on
the show by their physicians.
