Strike Two for NY Gov. Hochul's Vetting Process : vimarsana.

First it was a failed vetting process for lieutenant governor when Governor Kathy Hochul chose then-Senator Brian Benjamin to be her No. 2 in the administration on September 9, 2021. Seven months later, Benjamin was forced to resign on April 12, 2022 after having been indicted earlier that day on federal wire fraud and bribery charges, to which he pleaded not guilty.
