“As I have said time and time again – and I will say it until it is no longer an issue – Albany needs ethics reform now. As new allegations of sexual harassment from another state legislator come to light, there is clearly a culture at work in Albany that breeds this kind of unacceptable and disgusting behavior, and that needs to change immediately. A culture that treats women as objects and second class citizens is wrong. Women, like anyone else, need to be treated with respect. This issue is not going away, nor should it be allowed to be swept under the rug. We need immediate action.”
