ALBANY, NY – Albany Mayor Kathy Sheehan has released the following statement in response to Attorney General James’ report:

“The report outlined by the Attorney General provides a deeply disturbing, pervasive pattern of sexual harassment.

We all deserve to be safe at work. Sadly, these women were not and I commend them for coming forward and sharing their traumatic experiences. I also commend our Attorney General and her investigators for their professional and thorough investigation.

A corporate CEO, no matter how successful, would be fired for creating an environment that degraded and harmed so many women. A State that champions women’s rights cannot have a Governor who does not respect those rights. It is time for Andrew Cuomo to step down.”
