Jimmy Vielkind in Capitol Confidential reports that while New York State Senate staffing has dropped eight percent since July 2010, Greene County's representative there, Republican James Seward, has hired an additional temporary staffer. Columbia County's representative in Albany, Republican Steve Saland, also did not cut staff, as his remained the same from last year. Most departments of New York government have seen staff cuts in the past year. See the full Senate information through the link, and read the full story in Capitol Confidential.
