Statement of Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele, Jr. on Governor Cuomo’s Resignation

“This is a sad day for all New Yorkers. Based on the facts and evidence presented, Governor Andrew Cuomo made the right decision today by announcing his resignation. Today’s announcement sends a clear message to the people of the State of New York that no one is above the law. As I have previously stated, sexual harassment and assault has no place in any work environment, especially not in the highest office of New York State government. I believe the brave women who spoke up and admire their courage. I look forward to working with Kathy Hochul as she assumes the Office of Governor on matters of concern to Long Island and all of New York during these very perilous times.”
