“#Cuomo to forgo his $25,000 raise through executive order<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n ALBANY \u2014 If I\u2019m going down, you\u2019re coming with me!<\/p>\n

Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared he will forgo his anticipated $25,000 raise slated for Jan. 2021, but so will other top politicians and state officials in light of the Empire State\u2019s staggering $63 billion deficit.<\/p>\n

Cuomo is owed an extra $25,000 at the start of the new year by law, which would transform him into the nation\u2019s highest paid governor \u2014 raking in a whopping $250,000 annually.<\/p>\n

Instead, Cuomo promised to give up his raise \u2014 and also volunteered to slash salary increases also expected by Lieutenant Gov. Kathy Hochul, Attorney General<\/a> Letitia James and State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli and a slew of agency commissioners.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m gonna ask them to defer their raises and not take a raise given the overall financial picture for the same rationale that we didn\u2019t do a raise,\u201d Cuomo told reporters during a Wednesday press conference in Albany.<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand there\u2019s a disconnect in the law, but I\u2019m going to ask the commissioners, myself, the other electeds not to take a raise this year and then I\u2019ll do an [executive order] to that effect \u2014 because it\u2019s the same rationale now as not giving a raise to the other people,\u201d he added, referring to a new report released by a state panel charged with setting salary increases for state officials earlier this week that put the kibosh on raises for state judges as well as the Legislature\u2019s 213 state Senators and Assemblymembers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way it works I think is a little complicated. The judges and the legislators don\u2019t get a legal raise \u2014 technically, the four statewides do, and the commissioners do,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

The two groups\u2019 raises are separated by differences in state law \u2014 Cuomo, Hochul, James, Dinapoli and the agency commissioners\u2019 raises are triggered by a joint resolution voted on by the state Legislature. But the lawmakers abdicated their own salary hikes to the whim of the Commission on Legislative, Judicial and Executive Compensation.<\/p>\n

The coronavirus pandemic has taken a major toll on state coffers \u2014 bleeding $14 billion heading into the 2021 state budget cycle and culminating to a total $30 billion in 2022. Other losses include New York City, the embattled MTA and Port Authority \u2014 bringing state losses over a four year period to roughly $63 billion.<\/p>\n

Cuomo however will be making extra cash this year however \u2014 under the deal for his new book \u201cAmerican Crisis\u201d released last month.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s yet unclear how much he\u2019ll be making, as Cuomo himself and his office have repeatedly told reporters the number will be in the governor\u2019s next campaign filing reports.<\/p>\n

But Cuomo has said vaguely that a portion will be donated to a coronavirus-related entity.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
