Newly sworn-in New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), said she's Cleaned House and Removed Individuals who allegedly Contributed to a Culture that Allowed for Sexual Harassment under her Predecessor, Andrew Cuomo.
Cuomo Officially Left Office, after a Report by, the New York Attorney General's Office, released earlier this month:
alleged he sexually harassed 11 women. Cuomo has repeatedly denied claims of sexual harassment and said he was resigning to prevent the distraction of an impeachment trial, though he was certain he would win.
The Staffers Implicated in the Report "are no longer part of this administration," she said. "It's over. None of this is going to be accepted. I've surrounded myself with talented, young women and I want them to be the role models to others," she said. "It's a culture where they're going to be OK. You don't have to look over your shoulder. You don't have to worry about harassment."
Several Cuomo Aides and Staffers implicated in the Report, including former Secretary Melissa DeRosa and former Financial Services Superintendent Linda Lacewell, had already Left State Government. DeRosa, considered One of Cuomo's Top Confidantes, Stepped Down just days before the Governor announced his Resignation. Lacewell left her Position the same day as Cuomo.
She said she'll Require In-Person Sexual Harassment and Ethics Training for All State Government Employees.
Hochul also said she's looking into Staffers involved in the Controversial handling of Nursing Home Data during the Pandemic. "I need to continue working to identify principles involved in those decisions," she said.
She announced another 12,000 Deaths due to the Virus, after reviewing the Data.
She noted she's asked for a 45-day Period to assemble her Team.
"There's just a lot of things that weren't happening and I'm going to make them happen," she said. "Transparency will be a hallmark of my administration."
