Claudia Tenney says she hates crony capitalism and, “Doesn’t get government money.” So why does she take it?
In 2014, her company, Mid-York Press, received at least $200,000 in federal economic development assistance. How much more crony capital is Claudia Tenney hiding? Does she only oppose other companies taking taxpayer funds?
