STATEMENT FROM ASSEMBLYMAN COLIN SCHMITT

“The multiple disturbing sexual harassment and assault allegations against Governor Andrew Cuomo are unacceptable. These serious credible allegations coupled with the ongoing COVID-19 nursing home death coverup crisis make it abundantly clear that the Governor is unable to adequately fulfill his duties on behalf of our state. Due to the weight of these numerous allegations and mounting criminal investigations and the information we currently have available it is clear for the good of New York Governor Cuomo must resign immediately.

All of the ongoing allegations implicating the current Governor must face swift independent investigation and accountability through the Attorney General’s office and U.S. Department of Justice.”

Thank you Bruderhof Communities for all you do for our communities. I got to stop by and meet Oma as she made homemade pretzels with the secret recipe. Pretzels are my all time favorite snack!
