Funny thing about Governor Andrew Cuomo - from Hot Air:
Hmmm: Where's Cuomo's resignation letter?
Exactly one week ago, Andrew Cuomo gave New Yorkers his two-week notice of resigning his office. Since then, wheels have been turning in Albany for the transition. Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul has prepared not just assume office but also to run again next year for a full term, while playing coy on a Cuomo pardon. The state assembly buried its impeachment report, only to agree to exhume it a few days later.
There’s only one catch — has Cuomo actually resigned? No one has seen a letter, and the state requires notice in writing of a resignation. And for the moment Cuomo and his remaining team are mum on when — or whether — it will come:
The article has an update:
Update: Cuomo may not have had a chance to send in his resignation letter, but he’s been proactive on ensuring his pension kicks in right away. He might not have a long time to enjoy them, however, no matter how good his health remains:
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo filed for retirement benefits on Tuesday, following his decision to resign last week amid a sexual-harassment scandal.
Officially filing for retirement sets Cuomo up to receive a monthly pension payment from the state after more than a decade in public office. The three-term Democrat could be eligible to receive at least $50,000 a year in pension benefits from the state, according to the Empire Center, an Albany watchdog group. The payment could potentially be revoked if he is convicted of a felony, the group said.
That would be schadenfreude for 'ya. What real-world skills does he have?
Title? The brothers Gibb of course.
