Nearly three weeks after it last met, the New York State Joint Commission on Public Ethics will meet on Tuesday morning. This time, it may take action regarding the $5.1 million deal former Gov. Andrew Cuomo received to write a book last year regarding the COVID-19 crisis.

JCOPE tabled a decision on the controversial book deal during a special called meeting on Aug. 26. That meeting, which at times was contentious, included a closed session discussion on that topic that was broadcast live, according to the New York Post.
