IMPEACHMENT VOTE MAY NOT HAPPEN UNTIL EARLY SEPTEMBER, NY TIMES REPORTS

WPCNR CUOMO CRISIS UPDATE. From wire reports. August 5, 2021:

The New York Times reported Thursday morning the New York State Assembly may not officially take a vote on whether or not to impeach Governor Andrew M. Cuomo until after it completes its Senate Judiciary Committee investigation into the allegations of sexual harassment on the part of the Governor, supported by State Attorney General Letitia James Tuesday.

The newspaper report this morning reported a projected timetable that would not start a State Senate trial of the Governor should the assembly vote to impeach him in early September until possibly October. The State Senate has 30 to 60 days to act and begin the trial of Governor Cuomo if impeached, which would place the start of the proceedings to try him that could begin as late as the week before elections.

The Times also reported that no lawsuits by any of the 11 women named in the state investigation report released Tuesday, conducted by State Attorney General Letitia James into the Governor’s alleged actions, have yet to be filed with District Attorneys, though the Albany County District Attorney is quoted by the Times as saying his office has attempted to reach the women who have accused the governor to see if they are willing to file lawsuits with no positive responses.

The Times reports Lindsey Boylan, the first woman to accuse the Governor, plans to sue for the Governor’s alleged “retaliatory actions,” according to Ms. Boylan’s lawyer, Jill Basinger.

CHRISTINE SCHULTI CANDIDATE FOR COUNTY EXECUTIVE WONDERS WHY GEORGE LATIMER DID NOT CALL FOR GOVERNOR TO RESIGN SOONER.

CHRISTINE SCHULTI, Republican Candidate for County Executive issued this statement on the ongoing Governor Cuomo situation Wednesday.

“I stand with all the women who have been humiliated, demeaned, and assaulted by Governor Cuomo, as
confirmed by the Attorney General’s independent investigative report, and I call on Governor Cuomo to
immediately resign.

WPCNR CAMPAIGN 2021. Special to WPCNR from the Westchester Republican Party. August 4, 2021:

Christine Schulti, The Republican Candidate for County Executive issued this statement on the ongoing Governor Cuomo situation today:

“I stand with all the women who have been humiliated, demeaned, and assaulted by Governor Cuomo, as
confirmed by the Attorney General’s independent investigative report, and I call on Governor Cuomo to
immediately resign.


Sadly, I am not surprised that it took until now for Mr. Latimer to break his silence and condemn the
Governor’s behavior. After a decade in Albany as one of Cuomo’s closest allies – and given how
pervasive Governor Cuomo’s behavior is now known to have been – one wonders what Latimer knew
and when he knew it.


George Latimer’s reputation as one of Andrew Cuomo’s top enablers is known
and he is now working overtime to distance himself from the disgraced
governor. Westchester voters won’t be fooled. George Latimer is Andrew
Cuomo’s handpicked County Executive. During George Latimer’s inauguration,
Cuomo even bragged that he was sharing a “secret” and boasted of his invitation
to Latimer for coffee at the Governor’s Mansion, where Cuomo recruited
Latimer to run for county executive.


While many courageous Democrats called for the Governor’s resignation months ago, George Latimer
remained silent until the very same day President Biden, the entire Democratic Congressional
Delegation – and even Cuomo’s own Lieutenant Governor – stated the obvious and repudiated him.
Simply put, Latimer was the last man in line to break with his closest political ally.


Westchester voters should also know that Latimer has chosen to ignore: the Moreland Commission
(Cuomo corrupted his own anti-corruption commission), a $5 million book deal to profit from his alleged
“leadership” during Covid, Cuomo’s senior associates indicted and incarcerated, renaming the Tappan
Zee Bridge and worst of all the 15,000 senior deaths (and subsequent coverup) following Cuomo’s order
to place Covid patients in nursing homes, for which he should be prosecuted. After a decade of
swimming comfortably in Albany’s cesspool, George Latimer has failed to demonstrate any leadership
on any of these vital issues.

(Editor’s Note: Governor Cuomo has long defended his sending covid patients back to nursing homes, saying nursing homes were asked if they could care for their own patients coming back from the hospitals. If the nursing homes had said they could not care for these patients, they would not have been sent there.)
