Statement From Senator Oberacker

ONEONTA – 02/27/21 – Senator Peter Oberacker (R/C-Schenevus) today responded to claims of sexual harassment leveled at Governor Cuomo by former female employees.

“Every allegation of sexual misconduct must be taken seriously.  Those were the governor’s own words when a sitting senator faced similar charges in 2018.  Now an independent, unobstructed investigation looking into claims against the governor must commence immediately.

“Additionally, I repeat my call for the end of the governor’s emergency executive powers.  One man should no longer be granted the authority to suspend laws and impose unwarranted mandates on our state, especially when facing multiple investigations for his own actions.”
