In case you’ve missed the most recent news cycle, here is what’s happening in New York.
While a resignation at this level is not unprecedented, it is definitely uncommon.
Cuomo on the matter, “The best way I can help now is if I step aside.”
And for that, I deeply, deeply apologize."
This resignation comes in lieu of a potential impeachment on this matter.
Says Hochul, “I agree with Governor Cuomo’s decision to step down.
It is the right thing to do and in the best interest of New Yorkers” (viaTwitter).
But is his resignation coming soon enough?
“The two-week period is appropriate given Gov.
Cuomo’s reasoning that he wants to bring Lt. Gov.
Hochul up to speed,” Melcher said.
This reference, however, applies to a typically two-week notice at almost any job.
The governorship of New York is hardly typical.
Referring to next-in-line Lt. Gov.
Hochul, Melcher elaborates, “But frankly, she doesn’t need his help.
That’s what staffers are for at least the ones still around.
A more immediate resignation would have been better.”
