From The Desk Of Yonkers Newswire Political News Editor Brian Harrod..... Then There Were Six Upset Ladies...... ANOTHER LOVE GOV ACCUSER: Another Andrew Cuomo staffer accuses governor of sexual harassment; woman is 6th to come forward DAILY NEWS: Governor Andrew Cuomo again denied any wrongdoing Tuesday after a sixth woman accused the embattled governor of sexual harassment.

As I said last week, no one ever told me at the time I made them feel uncomfortable. “Obviously, there are people who’ve said after the fact they felt uncomfortable. No one told me that at the time,” he added. #GovernorCuomo’s comments came moments after the Albany Times Union reported that the governor’s attorney was made aware of the latest claim over the weekend and already passed on to the attorney general’s office, which is overseeing a probe into mounting claims made against the governor, first reported on Tuesday. The accuser, a member of the Executive Chamber staff, claims Cuomo inappropriately touched her during an encounter last year at the Executive Mansion, the official residence of the governor. The Times Union chose not to name the woman since she could not immediately be reached.

The scandal has engulfed the governor for weeks and led to increasing calls for his resignation. #Yonkers' Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, became the highest-ranking of the governor’s fellow Democrats to call on him to leave office. Cuomo has remained defiant, suggesting it would be “anti-democratic” for him to step down. “There is no way I resign,” he said..... https://www.facebook.com/groups/YonkersNewswire/permalink/2913383705585855/
