Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that he will reduce his $179,000 salary by five percent. He is also asking Executive Chamber staff take the same paycut. "Change starts at the top and we will lead by example," Cuomo said in a press release. "Families and business owners in every corner of the state have learned to do more with less in order to live within their means and government must do the same." Cuomo is expected to propose a one-year freeze on state workers pay during his "State of the State" speech Wednesday.
