New York Legislators Vote on $32K Raise for Themselves

State lawmakers' plans to return Thursday to vote for a measure to raise their pay by $32,000 is leading to calls for further action on measures that would also increase the minimum wage, extend a gas tax holiday into the new year and provide support for home heating assistance.

It's the give-a-mouse-a-cookie rule of New York politics: If you hold a special session, a few more glasses of milk are going to be sought.

The session is expected to see the approval of a bill to raise legislative pay from $110,000 to $142,000, making New York lawmakers the highest paid state Legislature in the country.

Pretty good salary for useless POS.

They’re just mimicking their “friends” in DC....
Feasting at the public slop (tax) trough is what they do best...

[fhayek]

Wh do we (New Yorkers) even need the legislators. They just do what the Speaker of the Assembly tells them to do. I mean, they really all could be replaced by a Magic 8 ball, and no one would be able to tell the difference.

[Organic Panic]

Well isn’t that nice of themselves. Who else is getting a 30% raise for failure?

NH State Reps/Senators are paid $100/year plus mileage to the state capital in Concord, NH.

The only other thing is a license plate for their vehicle.

[SuperLuminal]

Hogs/pigs at the trough...
Do not get in their way!

[Jacquerie]

Wow. A pay increase right after elections. Imagine that.

scumbags that give away our tax dollars, everything is falling apart around us and they give themselves a pat on the back
