A judge sided with former governor Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday in a dispute over the $5 million he was paid to write a book about his leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic.
on Tuesday in his dispute with a now-defunct state ethics commission that ordered him to give up $5 million he was paid to write a book about his leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cuomo acknowledged that state employees helped with tasks including editing the manuscript. But he's said those employees did that work voluntarily during their personal time.Last year the commission, commonly referred to by the acronym JCOPE, gave Cuomo 30 days to give up $5.1 million he was paid by a publisher for the book. Cuomo sued, claiming the commission's members were biased against him and violated his due-process rights.
Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat like Cuomo, signed legislation disbanding the commission this year in favor of a new one. It isn't clear whether the new commission will continue trying to claw back Cuomo's book money.
