Governor Cuomo should resign. The investigation was independent. The findings are incredulous. And I am deeply saddened and disgusted by the findings.

About a week ago (sadly during an interesting housing panel talk), I felt REALLY sick. I’m now post a ruptured appendix and a surgery, and still in hospital. Hope to be home in a day or so. If I haven’t been in touch-I will be!!Thank you!
