Cuomo s decade-long tenure as governor is ending a week after a scathing report from Attorney General Letitia James office found that he sexually harassed 11 women.

Senate Minority Leader Robert Ortt, R-North Tonawanda, sent a letter Tuesday on behalf of 20 Republican senators in the chamberâs minority to request the state Office of Court Administration and state Division of Criminal Justice Services conduct a thorough study and analysis of the stateâs bail reform laws and potential links to the violent crime surge across the state since January 2020 and publicize the conclusions.
