No Pay for NY Senators
Today is the first day New York State senators won't be getting paychecks – after a month of doing, pretty much, nothing in Albany.
State Controller Thomas DiNapoli last week ordered the biweekly paychecks of all 62 senators held until the Senate wraps up its power-sharing struggle that started June 8.
Payroll for 62 senators amounts to about $190,000 every two weeks.
DiNapoli is moving ahead even though a court hasn't decided whether he's allowed to withhold the senators' pay.
Meanwhile, senators on both sides of the aisle say an agreement may be reached by the end of the week.
