In this file photo taken on May 26, 2020 Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo speaks during a press conference at the New York Stock Exchange at Wall Street in New York City. - A second ex-employee of powerful New York state Governor Andrew Cuomo has accused him of sexual harassment, charges the governor denied on February 27, 2021. New York state lawmakers passed a bill Tuesday legalizing recreational marijuana, with Governor Andrew Cuomo saying he would sign it into law.

“For too long the prohibition of cannabis disproportionately targeted communities of color with harsh prison sentences,” Cuomo said in a statement. Cuomo’s office has said the change could net an additional $350 million in annual tax revenues and create tens of thousands of jobs. New York would automatically clear records of people with past convictions of marijuana-related offenses that would no longer be criminalized.
