ISSUE:
- Cuomo resignation
Senator Kevin Parker had the following statement:
“Everything about the situation resulting in the resignation of Governor Andrew Cuomo is regrettable. It is regrettable - as the details in the Attorney General’s report have revealed - how Governor Cuomo had so many incidents of unacceptable behavior toward women.”
“It is regrettable the accusers - now 11 of them - have had to experience and live with the negative impact of something no woman should be put through.It is regrettable the governor's record of doing his best for New York State is now stained by the tears and pain of his accusers and the accounts of his unacceptable behavior.”
“Sexual harassment is a serious and unacceptable no matter whatever other good things the accused may have done. I do appreciate how even at his last breath Governor Cuomo has now done the best thing for New York State by resigning, and I look forward to working with our next Governor, Kathy Hochul, to keep doing the business of the people of New York.”
