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.
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.
In Tuesday’s ruling, state Judge Denise A. Hartman declined the commission’s request that she enforce its order for Cuomo to turn over the money. Hartman characterized it as an attempt to sidestep administrative procedures, since the penalty was imposed without a required administrative hearing.
