The Empire Center has posted a list of government employees all over New York State who have won permission to double dip with both a salary and a pension. Most employees who are retired and taking a state pension are prohibited from returning to work and making more than $30,000 in annual salary – unless they get a special waiver from the state. The state has been harder on local governments in recent years to find someone who is not already retired to do the job. Go to seethroughny.net

First comes the election, then comes speculation about a pay raise for state lawmakers. Legislators are wary of voting to hike their salaries before heading to the polls for re-election, the seven-week period between Election Day and the end of the year — when the next state Legislature will be seated — has traditionally been when talks of a raise have heated up. So far no legislative leaders have indicated anything is in the works. Unless a bill is passed before Jan. 1st, a raise would have to wait until 2017 at the earliest. Assembly speaker Sheldon Silver has long supported a pay raise for lawmakers, and it has support from some lawmakers’ downstate, where the cost of living is higher.
