Republicans in the New York state Legislature on Wednesday called for a curb on profiting from book deals for elected officials in New York, days after Gov. Andrew Cuomo s office disclosed his deal to pen a memoir about the pandemic was worth $5.1 million. We can t have statewide elected officials writing books about their experience while it s still happening, said Sen. George Borrello.
The proposed bill comes as Cuomo continues to face controversies surrounding the publishing of the book, American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic, and multiple investigations surrounding the use of government aides to help him write it.
