Statement From New York State Conservative 

Party Chairman Gerard Kassar On Devious Albany Pay Raise Scheme.

 

Brooklyn, NY -- “Democrat leaders in the State Legislature are once again breaking the public trust by sneaking through a massive pay raise for themselves during the holidays when the fewest number of New Yorkers are watching. The proper time to have proposed a pay increase would have been during the elections when the public could weigh in, but, of course, that’s not how Albany works under one-party Democrat rule. The whole thing stinks of corrupt intent, frankly. 

 

“The Conservative Party also opposes Democrat efforts to make state legislative offices full-time positions. If this change is forced through, New Yorkers will have to pay more for the same substandard government they get now. And God knows what other foolishness a full-time legislature could impose on us. 

 

“New Yorkers are cynical about their state government for a reason. It reeks of self-interest year in and year out. The public deserves better.”
