ALBANY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo will be getting a $25,000 pay raise in January 2021, as the state faces a massive $63 billion budget deficit owed to revenue losses tied to the coronavirus pandemic.

Cuomo’s salary will jump from $225,000 to $250,000 on Jan. 1, 2021 — making him the highest paid governor in the nation.

But judges and 213 state lawmakers serving in the state Senate and Assembly didn’t get the green light for their own excepted raises, which have to be approved by the Commission on Legislative, Judicial and Executive Compensation which argued the state is too broke to pay up thanks to COVID-19.

Wow....

That is about $1 USD for every life that was lost in a nursing home as a result of him jamming them up with coughing and hacking, full blow COVID patients.

Cuomo made a killing in 2020.

A $63 billion dollar shortfall on a $177 billion budget is going to be hard to make up.

That $177 billion dollar budget used to be enough to run the entire United States of America government (armed forces, etc.) in 1968.

the FPOS isn’t worth $25K a year

Why not. Cuomo is a thief and his voters love him for it.

I was born in Brooklyn and our family escaped from New York when I was seven to Washington state.
