New York’s lieutenant governor — and Andrew Cuomo’s successor — takes office today

Earlier this month, a report by the New York State attorney general’s office accused Cuomo of sexually harassing at least 11 women, allegations he has consistently denied.
Has Kathy Hochul said anything about the harassment allegations swirling around her boss? Has she ever. Immediately after the report published, Hochul issued a statement saying “no one is above the law,” and then some. Has she made any notable appointments? After pledging, pretty much immediately, to clean house of Cuomo’s inner circle — “no one who is named as doing anything unethical in the attorney general’s report will remain in my administration,” she said on August 11 — Hochul has appointed two women as her top aides. Karen Persichilli Keogh, or K.P.K., will be her secretary, and Elizabeth Fine will be her counsel.
