New York State Legislature Pushing for Midnight Pay Raise Vote

ALBANY – Leaders in both the State Assembly and Senate have pulled another midnight maneuver to add $32,000 to their annual pay as part-time lawmakers.

Under the proposed plan, pay would increase from $110,000 per year for all senators and assembly members to $142,000 effective January 1, 2023.

There would be a restriction on outside income effective January 1, 2023.

This would make New York lawmakers the highest paid in the country.
