Erie County Legislator Frank Todaro has passed a resolution that calls for an independent investigation into sexual harassment claims against Governor Cuomo. This comes after two former aides to Governor Cuomo came forward both accusing him of intimidation and sexual harassment.

In the resolution, Legislator Todaro specifically asks for Attorney General Letitia James to lead the investigation, for the investigators to have subpoena power and for testimony to be under oath.

Members in both the State Senate and State Assembly have also asked for a full independent investigation of all accusations against Governor Cuomo.

Legislator Todaro also passed a resolution that supports changes to New York Law to allow the Attorney General to engage in investigations when the Attorney General determines it to be necessary without any additional approval from the Governor.

Legislator Todaro said, “My resolution calling for a full and complete independent investigation into these allegations has passed the Legislature. This situation is not something we can take lightly. I am glad there will be an independent investigation to make sure we have all the details we need to come to an informed decision on this matter.”
