NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- It's (almost) official.
New York State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins on Monday night released Gov. Andrew Cuomo's resignation letter, which he submitted earlier in the evening, ahead of his 11:59 p.m. departure from office.
The short letter is addressed to Stewart-Cousins and Speaker of the New York State Assembly Carl Heastie.
"I hereby tender my resignation for the office of Governor of the State of New York," Cuomo, 63, writes. "This resignation will be effective at 12:00 a.m., August 24, 2021. It has been my pleasure to serve with you both."
Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul is set to become the first female governor of New York at the stroke of midnight.
