“As much as I despise Cuomo, I think he has a good case to not pay this money back.”

I tend to agree. It wasn’t unethical for him to make the money from this obvious scam while things were good...only when things went south. (Nothing against South!)

Yup.
You write a book, you take the earnings from the book, irrespective of if you are governor or not.

I agree. They approved the book deal and now they want to rescind it.

I despise him with a vengeance, but this has got to be a joke.

Don’t forget that he had staff writing the book, so he was ripping off the New York taxpayers to line his own pockets, so hard to say he was “entitled” to the money.
