• An upstate New York lawmaker is calling for an investigation into a well-known veterans advocate — accusing her of lying when she claimed ex-military members were getting booted from hotels to make way for the flood of migrants up north.
• State Assemblyman Brian Maher, who has worked with Sharon Toney-Finch and her Yerik Israel Toney Foundation for three years, said he’s “devastated and disheartened” after her story allegedly began to unravel this week.
• But on Thursday, Maher said Toney-Finch admitted to him that she’d lied when he pressed her to provide bank records proving her nonprofit paid for the hotel housing for veterans. “I asked her to give her permission to the bank to release the information. She denied authorization,” Maher told The Post.
• “Shortly after that, when I asked her why she would make something like that up, she said, ‘I had to help the veterans,’ he said.
