The Associated Press is reporting George Amedore is one of six New York state senators to exceed their legislative pay with outside income last year. State ethics commission filings by all 63 senators included five attorneys and one builder -- Amedore -- who made $100,000 or more from other jobs. At the same time, 33 senators reported having no other work. Amedore, who represents the 46th Senate District, which includes part of Ulster County and all of Greene County, was among the top three outside earners in the Senate. The Rotterdam Republican reported an income of $200,000 to $300,000 from his family’s Albany-area construction business. Legislative sessions in Albany run from January through June, but lawmakers maintain staffed district offices that are expected to help constituents year round. The base state pay for state Senate and Assembly members is $79,500, and many get additional money for leadership posts. Read the full story in The Daily Freeman.
