Senator Gallivan Issues Statement on Governor Cuomo's Resignation

Senator Patrick M. Gallivan (R-C, Elma) issued the following statement:                                                                         

"This is a sad day for the State of New York, but I am thankful that Governor Cuomo has decided to step aside for the sake of the residents of our state.  It is clear the governor violated his oath of office and can no longer govern effectively. However, the brave women who stepped forward deserve justice and I believe the various investigations of the governor’s conduct should continue to include the improper reporting of nursing home deaths and the improper use of state employees for personal gain.

Moving forward, I wish Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul success in meeting the challenges ahead.  She is a fellow Western New Yorker and a respected colleague in government.  I look forward to working with Governor Hochul in making New York a better place to live, work and raise a family.”
