Edit: he ”said” he would turn it down but it requires legislation that has not been ordered to actually stop the raise. At this point I'll believe it when I see it. F*** this guy.

Holy shit this guy is a fuckin sleaze. AND he stands to profit from COVOD off his book?? How is anyone okay with this

Cuomo, already the highest paid governor in the nation, is scheduled for a salary increase from $225,000 to $250,000 on Jan. 1, 2021. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who earns $210,000 a year, will be second.

The pay hike was approved in 2019, after 10 years of keeping the New York governor’s salary flat at $179,000. Cuomo’s salary rose to $200,000 that year, then increased $225,000 in 2020 and $250,000 next year.

Edit:

the state’s budget deficit, already $14 billion. The same Commission on Legislative, Judicial, & Executive Compensation declined to provide raises for state judges last year when the budget deficit was half what it is now. But he still got his raise
