Cuomo files for his pension

Aug 19, 2021 6:43 am

Joseph Spector reports in the Democrat and Chronicle that Gov. Andrew Cuomo filed his retirement papers and is expected to get about a $50,000-a-year pension for his 11 years as governor and four as attorney general. Cuomo's pension is not impacted by the attorney general's report about how he sexually harassed 11 women. Nor is it affected by the legislature failing to impeach the governor. It is only in jeopardy if he is found guilty of a felony, which is possible with several criminal investigations ongoing. Otherwise, Cuomo has not said what is next for him after he leaves office Aug. 24. "I don’t know what I’m gonna do,” Cuomo told New York Magazine last week. “I’m not disappearing. I have a voice, I have a perspective and that’s not gonna change. And the details aren’t really that important to me to tell you the truth. You know? I’m a New Yorker, I’ve lived here, I’ve lived in Queens, I’ve lived in the city, I’ve lived upstate, I’ve lived everywhere, I came to Washington, so that’s … I don’t really care about that. I’ll figure that out. And I think I did the right thing.” In that one interview since announcing his resignation Cuomo claimed that he would have prevailed had the legislature continued with its impeachment efforts.
