NEW YORK (WCBS 880) — Gov. Kathy Hochul is set to announce Thursday a plan to remove staffers from her administration that were implicated in Attorney General Letitia James' independent report on former Gov. Andrew Cuomo's alleged sexual misconduct.
"So tomorrow I will have some announcements, but they have been rolling out, you've seen a number of places where we've made decisions to bring in new blood, as a new governor I'm entitled to have individuals that I believe will best serve the people of New York," Hochul said Wednesday in a news conference."
While Hochul clarified it will not be a large group of people removed, she said she is committed to keeping her promise of removing staffers mentioned in James' report.
"There will be some people who stay and some people who don't," she said. "So there won't be one big wave of thousands of names tomorrow, I'm just holding to the commitment within 45 days that people in the Executive Chamber who were mentioned in the report will not be staying. I think you'll find that they're pretty much gone."
Ahead of her rise to the governor's mansion, Hochul previously said her administration would remove any staffers involved in the “unethical” behavior.
“No one who is named as doing anything unethical in the report will remain in my administration,” she said.
