Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul of Buffalo has had very little to say about the sexual harassment allegations against Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo – which could, in a worst-case scenario for Cuomo, make the former congresswoman from Buffalo the state's first female governor.
But Hochul has had plenty to say about sexual harassment and assault over the years, with most of it revolving around the theme: "Enough is enough."
That's the name of landmark 2015 legislation that the Cuomo administration pushed to try to end sexual assaults on college campuses. Hochul has been the law's chief evangelist for years, traveling to college campuses across the state to spread the word that New York has the nation's strongest law on the issue.

Anyone who thinks she will be an improvement will be disappointed. We will still have the fracking ban, still the SAFE act, bail reform, etc.
I don’t know about where you have lived, but in my formative years in Wisconsin there were two Lt. Governors who ascended to the big chair when the Governor was appointed to the diplomatic ranks or to the cabinet by the President. In each case they had a couple of years to impress, and they each failed so bigly that it is a good trivia question to ask who they were.
In 1977 Jimmy Carter made Gov. Patrick Lucey the Ambassador to Mexico. This meant that Lt. Governor Martin Schreiber served about 1.5 years as Governor, to little effect.
In 2001 President George W. Bush selected Gov. Tommy Thompson as Secretary of Health and Human Services. and Lt. Gov. Scott McCallum was elevated to the top spot for a run of about 2 years.
I don’t know if it was something unique to Wisconsin, but these folks disappeared after having the top job fall into their lap. I know nothing about Hochul, but maybe her great expectations will be followed by a similar fizzle.

I actually believe that this will turn out to be a net WIN for the communists. They get out a huge target who could screw hurt the Dems, and they put in someone to the left of AOC, with substantive government experience. Look for the entire state to be locked down forever, for starters.
The hypocrisy of the Democrats especially Democratic women stinks to high heaven
Shes dirty too.

Listening to the news last night and she said she knew nothing about the abuse/sexual stuff that was going on in the Cuomo admin.
Right...same old, same old.
