The number of times DeRosa’s name appears in the report is second only to Cuomo’s.
DeRosa was the first woman to serve as the secretary to the governor, making her arguably the most powerful unelected official in the state. In this role, she served as a key adviser on top issues, especially Cuomo’s handling of the pandemic. She also fueled the toxic environment Cuomo established in Albany, as New York’s Rebecca Traister reported in March, bullying state lawmakers who crossed the administration and yelling at female subordinates in the governor’s office.
