New York Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul is pledging to set a better tone in state government after the sexual harassment scandal that spurred Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s resignation.
Suddenly propelled to lead New York, Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul vowed Wednesday to set a better tone in state government after the sexual harassment scandal that“Nobody will ever describe my administration as a toxic work environment,” Hochul said in her first news briefing after Cuomo announced his resignation.
Cuomo announced Tuesday that he would step down rather than face a likely impeachment trial in the state Assembly after James, a fellow Democrat, released a report concluding he sexually harassed 11 women. One woman accused him of groping her breast. Hochul purposely kept a modest profile as lieutenant governor in a state where Cuomo commanded — and demanded — the spotlight.
Before sharing a ticket with Cuomo, she was a county clerk who opposed the idea of allowing immigrants in the country illegally to apply for driver’s licenses — an idea that would become law during Cuomo’s administration. Asked Wednesday about what is known as the Green Light Law, Hochul said her position “has now evolved, and that evolution coincides with the evolution of many people” in New York.
