But they do such a fine job. Imagine all the work that goes into fleecing taxpayers out of their hard-earned bucks. See, during those other 6 months when they are not actually working, they are busily working on schemes to raise taxes, increase frivolous spending and figuring how to screw with your freedoms. Don't tell me these people don't work very hard at their job. It takes a lot of effort to screw people over the way they do. And they're damned good at it!

You complain about every part of Ny state so i thought that maybe you had a for sale sign out front.  At your age i figure you should have had enough and time to move on to state of your liking!

Do they have a chance to make $ the other 6 months? If not, it's not that great of a gig. It's almost like being a teacher who works like 180-200 days per year

They sure do.  The 2 that I know make significantly more in their second positions as lawyers.  Of course, they are not supposed to use their influence from state positions to help in the private positions.  I will leave it at that.

Lol .... that was quite a stretch. I mistakenly thought you actually had something worthwhile on the subject that you were trying to say.

yes, it's a side job for most........other then it being an ego thing, getting voted out of office has little if any monetary affect on a politician..........many of the well known politicians who held higher offices make a killing once they leave office.

I would agree with the caveat that the public position may very well be the reason for a well paying private position.

Im always looking for more farm land if you ever...Just had enough!!!!

I have never seen a "poor" NYS legislator, so I wouldn't spend a whole lot of time worrying about whether their pay and other perks are depriving them of anything.....lol. They're doing just fine.
