Workers on the campaign of Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez ought to be careful about dancing on the roof.
According to the New York Daily News, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York, was slapped with a $1,500 fine by the New York Workers Compensation Board for not carrying comp coverage from March 31, 2018, to April 30, 2018.
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, who at 29 became the youngest woman ever to serve in Congress, ran on the platform of being a Democratic Socialist and a champion of the working poor when she sashayed into the congressional seat after defeating a longtime incumbent in the primary. Critics have blasted her posted dance videos made during her college years, while supporters cheered the rocking representative.
