NEW YORK STATE (WRGB) — Do New York lawmakers, already the highest paid in the country, deserve another pay raise?

The seven-person committee that will make that decision met Thursday in Albany.

This time around, members are considering a pay raise for state leaders like the governor and lieutenant. governor. Also for about 60 state agency commissioners.

And for senators and assembly members. Keep in mind that state lawmakers have secured two pay raises in recent years.

First from $79,500 to $110,000 per year, then two years ago when they voted for a salary increase themselves from $110,000 to $142,000 per year.
