Pay increases for Governor Paterson’s inner circle

The Kingston Daily Freeman posted an AP story about pay increases for the Governor’s inner circle staff. The Governor blows off the criticism stating that it is part of a “ net cut in executive chamber pay” because he “ eliminated some jobs and cut executive spending by 10 % over all.”

It would seem to me that if he held the line on the salaries of the remaining staff, he could have increased his budget cut the $ 250,000 figure referenced in the article

Those of you who are private sector business owners and employees would love to have a pay increase in 2009 wouldn’t you.
