In her first remarks since New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced his resignation amid allegations of sexual harassment, Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul said today there will be “turnover” when she becomes governor. From the New York Times:
Ms. Hochul, who is set to take office on Aug. 24, said that she had not been aware of the behavior that was described in a damning report released last week from the New York State attorney general. The report found that Mr. Cuomo had sexually harassed 11 women, most of them current or former state employees.
“I think it’s very clear that the governor and I have not been close, physically or otherwise, in terms of much time,” said Ms. Hochul, a Democrat who has held a mostly ceremonial role in the Cuomo administration. “I’ve been traveling the state and do not spend much time in his presence or in the presence of many in the state capital.”
She suggested that she would change the culture in the Executive Chamber — the heart of the governor’s office — which the report portrayed as hostile, retaliatory and driven by loyalty to Mr. Cuomo at all cost.
