Gov. Cuomo to get a $25K raise despite New York’s $63B budget deficit

NYP: 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 expected 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.

“We understand the potential for significant budget cuts may be necessary at the state executive level as well if the federal government does not enact additional funding to address the economic hardship caused by COVID-19,” the panel wrote in a new report released Monday evening. more

  1. Cuomo needs that raise. After all, how can he afford all those “Greatest Governor in the world” mugs. Also, he can’t write on toilet paper all of those unconstitutional orders killing off old people. He needs to buy special “Greatest and most Humble Governor in the world” stationery.

  2. …so, given today’s silver price of $0.55 per gram x 30 = $16.50, and $25,000 / $16.50, this works out to that he’s being compensated for killing 1515 nursing home patients, with 30 pieces of silver being the usual going rate for betrayals.

    Of course, he’s killed FAR more than THAT, so perhaps it represents a down payment of sorts, a promise of how the Harris administration will reward truly GIFTED killers like HIM in the New World Order that is being born admidst Democrat fraud and violence…

  3. Who is worse – Cuomo or Newsom? Cuomo is delusional. Now he’s mad because President Trump’s efforts will have a vaccine delivered before the end of the year, the fastest ever. Seems Cuomo has some serious resentments he is dealing with. I hope he gets help.

    “I guess the price of nipple rings has gone up at his favorite neighborhood piercing parlor.”

    …well, since his illegal orders make it so they can’t open for anyone but him and his buddies, they DO have to charge premium rates to keep their best piercer available for him…it’s expensive, but HE considers himself WORTH it for us to pay a little more for his happiness…
