A New York State ethics panel voted Tuesday to rescind approval of former Governor Andrew Cuomo's 2020 memoir, potentially setting up a legal showdown over millions of dollars in proceeds from the book.
The commission's Tuesday resolution said the governor's staff indicated in July 2020 that he would "write the book entirely on his own time, without the use of state resources or personnel" and did not disclose that "state property, resources and personnel, including staff volunteers, were used in connection with the preparation, writing, editing and publication of the book.
Rich Azzopardi, a spokesperson for Cuomo, criticized the commission, known as JCOPE, in a statement sent to the media Tuesday, calling the commission "a J-JOKE."
