Governor Cuomo and other statewide elected officials won't be getting their planned pay increases.
The governor signed an executive order Monday putting them on hold. As a result, the governor will forgo a $25,000 bump in pay while people like Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul and Comptroller Tom DiNapoli won't receive a $10,000 raise. The governor says while this delay is the right thing to do, it's not a reflection of the hard work those affected by the decision have been doing for New Yorkers.
