In the office of
Andrew Cuomo
former governor of New York State
Letizia Tagliafierro, the New York State inspector general, resigned on Friday September 17 2021, becoming the latest in a string of high-profile departures from state government as allies and appointees of former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo follow him into private life. A prosecutor by training, Ms. Tagliafierro was appointed inspector general by Mr. Cuomo in 2019. As a key state watchdog, she was charged with ferreting out fraud, corruption and abuse across state government.
