Bill Mahoney reports in Politico New York that the State Commission on Legislative, Judicial, and Executive Compensation did not raise state lawmakers pay at a Nov. 15 meeting. The commission's deadline has passed and salaries stay where they have been for 18 years: $79,500. Mahoney points out that state lawmakers have passed five reform packages that Gov.

Cuomo appointees Fran Reiter and Robert Megna abstained from voting on a proposed salary increase, so the measure failed to pass. Read the full story in Politico New York.
