New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Sunday that he will sign a bill to limit his emergency powers as calls for his resignation continue to intensify over the state’s CCP virus response and mounting sexual harassment allegations against him.
“I’m signing today the legislature’s emergency powers bill, and I’m going to implement it today with a significant change,” Cuomo, 63, told reporters during a conference call, saying that cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus are dropping in the state.
