“This has been an historic undertaking and one that the members of the Judiciary Committee took on with extreme diligence and thoughtfulness.I would like to thank all the members of the committee as well our counsel at Davis Polk for their hard work. The former governor’s conduct – as shown in this report – is extremely disturbing and is indicative of someone who is not fit for office.

New Yorkers deserve no less.”
