Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s administration is reinterpreting its reinterpretation.
In the five days since The New York Times reported that Mr. Cuomo had construed an executive order to enable himself to collect roughly $890,000 in campaign money from his appointees to state boards, the administration has insisted the order was never meant to apply to most board appointees.
But its rationale, as well as its reading of the executive order, seems to be shifting.
