NYP: Disgraced Gov. Andrew Cuomo filed retirement papers with the state to receive a $50,000 annual lifetime pension — just days before his resignation takes effect over his sexual harassment scandal.
“The governor just filed his application for service retirement. The date of retirement is Sept. 1, 2021,” a spokesperson for the state comptroller’s office said Tuesday.
Under current law, neither resignation or impeachment for alleged misconduct bars eligibility from obtaining a pension for state service. Only a felony conviction can trigger pension forfeiture.
Cuomo announced his resignation last week after a stinging investigative report released by state Attorney General Letitia James found he sexually harassed 11 women, including current or former staffers. He denies wrongdoing. more here
I hate liberals.
Key word… “lifetime”
Watch your ass, Andy.
Civil service unions. smh
Must be nice.
A couple things; governor pensions were negotiated way before this creep took office, and as the article mentioned, if he goes to trial and is convicted, he gets squadouche.
50 grand is a pittance, he can make 10 times that being a political hack for CNN, and 100 times that for a published book, which libs will buy hand over fist, just ask Michelle.
And don’t think for a minute that his political career is over. The one thing Teddy Kennedy taught us, the left will run Jeffrey Dahmer if they think they can win.
I am surprised his Pension isn’t triple the $50,000.
Oh wait…..
How about his state pension as Attorney General of NY?
How about his Federal Pension??
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), starting
in 1993, where he was eventually appointed the cabinet-level
position of U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
in 1997 – 2001.
I think old Andrew will be just fine with his $Millions.
One last F/U on his way out the door.
Hmmm… Andy didn’t kill himself???
Fuck up move up. That’s how it always worked in the corporate world. In my 40 working years, I saw plenty of it.
