21 August 2021: New Misuse of Public Resources in Cuomo Move-Out?

Cuomo’s daughter used state police SUV to move from governor’s mansion: sources

You would think Andrew M. Cuomo would be smarter, but once again, it appears NY state taxpayer resources have been specifically applied to personally benefit himself. Here's an excerpt from a report that suggests Cuomo lowered his personal expenses for moving out of New York's executive mansion by transporting his family's personal possessions in state trooper vehicles:

Gov. Cuomo’s daughter used an unmarked police SUV to take herself and her belongings from the state’s Executive Mansion, a possible misuse of state resources, sources said.

Michaela Kennedy-Cuomo, 23, was spotted last week lugging a large cardboard box and bags out of the Albany residence days after her father announced he was resigning.

She placed the goods in a black SUV, which a source identified as a state police vehicle, and was driven away.

“If there are legitimate security concerns for his family, they could provide security, but not moving services,” said Blair Horner, executive director of the New York Public Interest Research Group, a state watchdog.

Horner said unless the state’s Joint Commission on Public Ethics approved, “it could be an improper use of state resources.”

Michaela Kennedy-Cuomo is the youngest of Cuomo's three daughters, each of whom benefited from having a one-third share of $1 million in early proceeds from Cuomo's controversial pandemic "leadership" book deal placed in a trust fund for their personal benefit. The book deal will net Andrew M. Cuomo a total of $5.12 million and is a subject of criminal investigation because of Cuomo's documented use of public resources to produce it.

Meanwhile, the mystery of where Cuomo will store his stuff has been solved....

Cuomo dumps his stuff at sister’s home

Just think of how much more he'll be able to pay for legal expenses by keeping his stuff at his sister's place!...

Run out of office, Gov. Andrew Cuomo is keeping it all in the family — all his belongings, that is.

Before he gets evicted from the governor’s mansion Monday, the disgraced three-term governor’s belongings were trucked down to his sister’s house in Westchester via a pair of U-Hauls, The Post has learned.

The home in Westchester County’s Purchase — about 14 miles south of where he once lived with ex-longtime girlfriend Sandra Lee — is owned by Maria Cole and her hubby Kenneth Cole, the famous fashion designer, according to property records and reports.

Cuomo has — at the very least — stored some of his possessions from the governor’s mansion in Albany in the luxurious home, which is about an hour drive from what will next week be his former Third Avenue office building.

The question of where Andrew M. Cuomo will live is yet to be answered at this writing....
