Can Cuomo convince New York’s highest court to scrap state ethics commission?

The fate of the Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government rests in the hands of the state Court of Appeals, and it’s not looking good for the imperiled commission. The state’s highest court heard oral arguments on Tuesday from attorneys for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who alleges that COELIG is unconstitutional, and from the state Attorney General’s office, which is representing the commission. Good government organizations are hoping that the independent watchdog agency survives this last-gasp appeal for the sake of government accountability, while Cuomo hopes to sink COELIG as he considers a potential mayoral run.
