LID Supports NY AG James Investigation Into Governor Cuomo’s Sexual Harassment Allegations

Yesterday, NY Attorney General Tish James released a statement detailing the office’s plans to oversee an investigation into the sexual harassment allegations against Governor Andrew Cuomo.  Sexual harassment has, for too long, been endemic in the culture of New York State politics. We support the AG’s investigation and stand with Charlotte Bennett, Lindsey Boylan and anyone else who may have been the victim of the Governor’s unacceptable behavior. If we are to speak truth to power, the Governor and those complicit in any untoward behavior must face the consequences of their actions. New York deserves better. 

LID has joined with numerous political organizations and state Democratic party leaders calling for the Governor’s censure and, resignation should the allegations prove true, available here.
