Jack Marren, Ontario County Chairman and President of the New York State Association of Counties, released a statement last week on NYSAC’s behalf regarding the resignation of Governor Andrew Cuomo which will take effect on August 24.
“Today’s announcement that Governor Cuomo will step aside brings needed closure to the uncertainty that has paralyzed our state for the last week. The last year and half has shown that counties are essential in the fight against controlling a resurgent COVID-19 pandemic and leading the economic revival of our communities. We need stability in government to ensure essential services continue for the people of New York. Lieutenant Governor Hochul understands the present state of the state and will need to engage immediately. We look forward to beginning this new chapter under the leadership of a dedicated public servant and former local government leader who understands the essential role of counties in the lives of New Yorkers. Our counties stand ready to support this transition and will continue our ongoing work to make our communities stronger, safer and better places to live, work, and raise a family.”
