Gov. Andrew Cuomo called the state’s watchdog ethics panel “meaningless” on Wednesday, following an attempt by the State Senate to pass legislation overhauling the agency.
The Joint Commission on Public Ethics, or JCOPE, was created by Cuomo in his first term in office but has long been criticized by both sides of the aisle for its lack of transparency and its close ties to the governor.
The dam broke just a few weeks ago, when it was revealed that JCOPE staffers were the ones to secretly give Cuomo approval for his controversial $5.1 million book deal, as first reported by the New York Post.
