A judge ruled the state's ethics board did not follow proper procedure in revoking a waiver for the former governor to write and profit from his book.

Now it will be up to Attorney General Letitia James to enforce the resolution passed Tuesday by the Joint Commission on Public Ethics, which requires Cuomo to pay back his book proceeds within 30 days.

'The powers-that-be don’t want JCOPE to work.'

The Governor's Office and the MTA also declined to comment on why it misled the public.

Democratic lawmakers are calling for a new ethics system where 'you don't want to break our rules or laws because there's a shitload of trouble you can get into.'

City Hall seems to have gotten hit with yet another subpoena.
