STATEMENT BY ERIE COUNTY COMPTROLLER STEFAN MYCHAJLIW ON THE RESIGNATION OF GOVERNOR ANDREW CUOMO

“Governor Cuomo callously and calculatingly called himself a victim amidst investigations into his book deal and sexual harassment.  

His victims are thousands of seniors that needlessly died when he sent the elderly stricken with COVID into nursing homes around healthy patients. 

His victims are the women he preyed on and sexually harassed.

Cuomo’s victims are New York State taxpayers that apparently and illegally paid for staff on government time so he could take in millions from a book deal.

Despite his disgraceful exit, the dark days of Andrew Cuomo destroying our beloved state are over.

Unfortunately for him, the criminal investigation into his book deal and having taxpayer funded employees working on it are far from over.  Good.  He’s not the only politician that should have emails, text, phone calls and swipe cards checked to see if government employees worked on taxpayers’ time to personally profit from a book deal.”

HON. STEFAN I. MYCHAJLIW, JR.
