NY: Hochul awarded lucrative COVID test contract to campaign donor that charged taxpayers double

The deal was made under suspended procurement rules enabled by a state of emergency that Hochul has renewed every month since late last year.

• Digital Gadgets charged as much as $13 per unit, while other vendors charged the state just $5 for rapid tests.
• The troubling revelation was that Digital Gadges donated nearly $300,000 to KHochul’s campaign.
