Attorneys who are investigating sexual harassment and misconduct claims against Gov. Andrew Cuomo are making between $325 and $750 per hour. Author: Jeff Preval Updated: 11:21 PM EDT April 12, 2021
BUFFALO, N.Y. All indications are that the investigations into allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct against Governor Andrew Cuomo will cost the state, and therefore taxpayers, a lot of money.
And we are getting a glimpse into that cost, which you are paying for.
Last month, when the New York State Attorney General Letitia James appointed outside attorneys to lead the investigation into sexual harassment claims against the governor, 2 On Your Side filed a public records request to learn about the cost of the investigation.

Carl Heastie, Speaker of the New York State Assembly, has authorized the Assembly Judiciary Committee to commence an impeachment investigation into Governor Andrew Cuomo after multiple women accused the governor of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior.
