Guess how much the head of the New York Public Library makes. I ask people this and they shoot off guesses they think are high. $150K? Nope. A quarter-million? Still low. Okay, okay, $500 thousand. Not there yet.
He made $688K in 2008. That’s down from when he made $800K in 2005. You’re probably thinking I’m making this up. Nope. Read about it in the New York Times. Do your own research on payrolls at SeeThroughNY.net.
The SUNY Albany President was reported to be making $280K, plus a $261K pension, and has a $100K consulting job with his old state job. Read about it in the Times Union.
They’re not alone. There are nearly 80,000 public employees in New York State who make over $100,000 a year. More than 32,000 of them make over $120K and over 8000 make over $150K. High-flying pensions are becoming a huge problem. Read more about at Pension Tsunami: New York.
Career politicians are proposing across the board pay freezes and cutting teachers. We can save more money for both the state and for local governments by bringing these high-flying salaries and pensions back down to earth.
Warren supports a cap on public sector pay at $100,000 per year, and a pension cap of $75,000.
Critics of this idea say that these jobs are too important and that you won’t be able to find quality people at $100K. They’re not living in the real world. There are plenty of highly qualified people in NY who make less than $100K. Public service is supposed to be about public service, not about getting rich.
The head of the Albany Parking Authority makes $130K. To run parking lots? We can find someone to do that for $100K – or less.
People tell me how well put together I am. Yet, I prefer to only date women who are obsessive and controlling like my wife. Stalker type and I am seeking them out. You think I'M going to hell cuz I’m a little touched... I think YOU'RE going to hell cuz your making me that way... I cry out of sadness... because my nuts itch... You cry out of laughter... watching me scratch...I think I caught something in that hot tub.
Pretty simple really.You tell the unions take a big pay cut or lose jobs.Either way the public won't notice.The only thing we notice is our tax bill and its too high
I'm getting loaded up on cheap beer and chili before tonight's budget worskhop.
Then I am going to sit right in the middle of the union goons and city hall workers which will no doubt be there, in force.
I will then proceed to fart throughout the whole evening.
Don't worry if you're drunk and smell they'll think you're Union President.
Here's a tip for all you yahoos who think you are so clever and witty.
Upstate New York is an embarrassment because of so many who refuse
to read and utilize the library on a regular basis. Not having money is no
excuse for not being cultured and not learning to spell and speak properly.
I am from downstate New York, but I moved away and saw the rest of the world, sadly
people from Corinth, Schenectady and Albany tend not to go anywhere, surprise, surprise.
It's also really disturbing that there are so many racist and sexist diatribes on this blog.
Now I don’t like black people, and stay away from them. If you don't like black people, move to a Saratoga Springs like me.
Anyone with that much animosity towards others obviously has issues I have a lot of issues, that’s why I want Saratoga to be a gated community with a cop on every block. If you can’t understand why that’s so important that’s your problem.
The Ghost of past commissioners says:
I predict that Fred W. from the FD will be there...... I hope two side-by-side chairs will be available for him.
Don't worry, feel happy says.....
Mamie will be there, Fred will be there, some drunks, some political payoff dudes, clapping and shouting, getting rowdy, leaving the meeting, going down to Caroline St and getting drunk again.
How does it feel? To be without a home, like a complete unknown...........
Now you're going to have to get used to it.
How does it feel?
To be on your own, with no direction home?
Great work on the NXIVM coverage. A sign of the times that our local blog leads the way in this exposure.
Saratoga owes you a debt of gratitude, Ben!
Truth Shall Prevail
