A judge sided with former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo 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.
The Joint Commission on Public Ethics initially approved Cuomo's request to write the book, titled"American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic," in 2020. But the panel withdrew that approval the following year after alleging Cuomo hadn't kept a promise not to use any state resources on the book.
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.
