In a farewell address Monday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo defended his legacy and lobbed one final round of criticism against the sexual harassment investigation that drove him to resign
ALBANY, N.Y. — Gov. Andrew Cuomo defended his legacy and lobbed one final round of criticism against the sexual harassment investigation that drove him to resign during a pre-recorded farewell address on Monday.
Cuomo has spent years espousing his view that results are the measure of public officials — don’t pay attention to ideological purity or how the sausage gets made, he'd argue. Just assess how skillful somebody is at things like executing big infrastructure projects. Those projects received star billing as he summarized his tenure on Monday.
Cuomo also highlighted several major laws enacted during his tenure, including same-sex marriage, gun control and a minimum wage hike. The governor, whose family has dominated New York politics for most of the past four decades, has always been particularly focused on his legacy and how it compares to that of his predecessors. He took the unusual step early in his tenure ofto the archived records of his time as attorney general.
