New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is set to receive a $25,000 pay raise in 2021 per legislation passed in 2019 while other New York officials' salaries will remain stagnant year-over-year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
A report recently released by the New York Commission on Legislative, Judicial and Executive Compensation determined that "it will not recommend any compensation increases for the next four years for New York’s judges, legislators, or executive branch officials." The report cited the coronavirus pandemic and its "unprecedented challenges" as a major reason why a pay raise for officials would not be wise.
