The New York attorney general’s damning report portrays Governor Andrew Cuomo as not only a sexual harasser but a misappropriator of state resources.
The saga of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s downfall attracts prurient interest. But strip away the supposedly titillating details—which weren’t so titillating to the near-dozen women who allegedly experienced them—of New York Attorney General Letitia James’s 168-page investigative document into Cuomo’s workplace behavior, and you get not just sexual harassment, which is bad enough, but something just as unacceptable: garden-variety public corruption, including misappropriation of state resources. As the state legislature impeaches Cuomo, lawmakers shouldn’t leave this part out. Abusing taxpayer resources is an important sin, too.
