Connections: Discussing Gov. Andrew Cuomo's resignation, part 1

WXXI News | By Evan Dawson,
Megan Mack
Published August 10, 2021 at 2:40 PM EDT

We start this hour with a discussion about new "good cause eviction protections" established in Albany. The conversation is abbreviated due to breaking news coverage of Gov. Cuomo's resignation. In a future program, we will revisit the housing rights discussion with our guests:

  • Barbara Rivera, lead tenant organizer for the City-Wide Tenant Union of Rochester
  • Clianda Florence-Yarde, tenant, educator, mother, and community member
  • William Lang, landlord

Then, policymakers and journalists react to Gov. Cuomo's resignation and his response to the Attorney General's report that found he sexually harassed 11 women.
