NY lawmakers get pay raise making them nation's best-paid

FILE - Members of the New York Assembly debate legislation to approve a legislative pay raise during a special legislative session in the Assembly Chamber at the state Capitol in Albany, N.Y., Dec. 22, 2022. New York lawmakers are now the highest paid legislators in the nation under a bill signed Saturday, Dec. 31. Members of both houses will make a base salary of $142,000 starting Sunday, Jan. 1, 2023, under the pay raise bill they passed during a special session in late December.

Starting in 2025, outside income will be capped at $35,000. Pay in excess of that from military service, retirement plans, or investments will still be allowed. But some Republican lawmakers spoke out against the bill during the special session, criticizing the ban on the outside income.

Isn't that Nice?

They do all love themselves, don't they... Smh

Those communist sure do reward themselves well with other people's money..

One of the most corrupt States should expect to have overpaid representatives.

Of course they agree to pay themselves more money. I can't wait till the revolution deals with them.

And that’s not counting their insider trading!

Imagine a government where the children get to vote how much of an allowance they get. That is where we are in America. The parasites rule!

Fbi, doj, dhs, dni, media, abc just give us the impression that our votes, wishes Matter! Elections mean nothing! Democracy is 💀! Bury it, maybe something good will arise from the ashes! Demoncrats must deny your right of self defense! Disarmed!Then they will have their 😈way!

Bullshit!

No Federal Bailout!

Have the public vote on if they get a raise or not.

Democrats keep getting richer and New Yorkers keep getting poorer.

Yet thousands of soldiers were let go for not taking the vax which has now been rescinded and those same soldiers haven’t received back pay or their jobs. Hmm…

They do the worst job and get the most pay....seems about right for your typical democrats

Wow!!! New York’s streets are so much safer now 👏
