Frank's Musings

If Governor Andrew Cuomo had been a private citizen, not in a position of power when he committed the acts of which he has been accused, he could be excused for behaving like a commonly sex-starved man.  However, he is an elected official who is expected to act according to a higher standard.  That makes the charges grounds for at least reelection campaign opposition.  It may also make him subject to an impeachment proceeding.  In fact, any person in a position of employment advantage or with other social power over others could  even be hauled before a criminal court.

As an American state governor it is appropriate for him to resign his office if the charges have any chance of being proved truthful.  In any case, Andrew Cuomo is going to have a very tough row to hoe in order to stay as New York’s chief executive or any other office, for that matter.
