Cuomos ruthless enforcer Melissa DeRosa heads panel to help women and girls
Andrew Cuomo’s righthand woman, an allegedly “ruthless, heartless†enforcer for the governor amidst his sexual harassment scandal, heads a state panel that is supposed to focus on workforce equity and preventing violence against women.
Melissa DeRosa, who is secretary to the governor, is also the chair of the state Commission on Women and Girls.
Cuomo formed the group in 2017, but its work in the past year is unclear. It last issued a press release in June 2020, with an announcement that the state would allow midwife-led birthing centers for the first time.
The commission has a steering committee of powerful women from across the state, but the group has not met in 18 months, one member said.
Fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff is listed as a steering committee member but hasn’t been involved since 2018, her rep said.
Minkoff included DeRosa in a 2018 billboard campaign of “superwomen,†but her spokeswoman would not comment on her now.
The commission, headed by DeRosa, hasn’t issued a press release in more than a year.Hans Pennink for NY Post This post first appeared on Nypost.com
