Nice Work If You Can Get It — Comptroller Doles Out Huge Raises To His Staff
Gentle Reader:
Tom DiNapoli, New York State Comptroller has some nerve. He’s giving his government staff incredible pay-raises. According to the Daily News:
State Controller Thomas DiNapoli quietly authorized significant raises for nearly three dozen members of his pension investment team, the Daily News has learned.
Twenty-one of the 35 raises were in the double digits, including 13 that exceeded 20%, salary information from DiNapoli’s office shows.
(snip)
George Wong, a junior research analyst, saw his salary jump a whopping 64%, the highest percentage increase given by DiNapoli.
Wong’s salary went from $38,159 to $62,500, a $24,341 bump.
Assistant Deputy Controllers Marjorie Tsang and William Barrett had the largest monetary increases.
Their salaries have now hit $200,000 - $47,655, or 31.3% more, than they were each making previously.
Is it any wonder so many people in Albany are so out of touch with our reality?

Interesting, in my job I got a 2% raise last year. Maybe I can get a job with Tom DiNapoli.
didn’t dinapoli just come out and say that he was going to limit the amount of money he recieves from special interests? this must be why, now that his staffers are getting more bank, they can donate more to the boss.
