“Today, Gov. Cuomo finally recognized the walls were caving in. Between the bombshell attorney general’s report and the extensive hard work and dedication of the Assembly Judiciary Committee, it was clear that there would be no escaping responsibility for his actions.

“This governor’s administration was one that will be remembered from the very beginning for the intense amount of corruption and scandal it brought the people of New York. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. We cannot allow resignation to be the end of this story. I am committed wholly to continuing to find justice for the victims of Cuomo’s abuse and corruption. Whether you’re a taxpayer in New York or the loved one of one of the 15,000 nursing home patients that lost their life, you deserve accountability.”

“My best wishes to Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul as she will take over as Gov. at a critical time and will have to change the atmosphere in the Executive Chamber and work with the Legislature to bring New York forward.”
