Legislators who voted for the
wage freeze program and followed
through by turning down their raises were: Cilmi; Kate Browning (WF - Shirley); Kara Hahn (D - Setauket); Wayne Horsley (D - Babylon); and Steve Stern (D - Dix Hills), for total savings of $ 14,000.
Of course, the problem is even where teachers have agreed to a
wage freeze you have increasing costs — without additional state aid — those extra dollars will have to come from the local property tax which is much more unfair for the middle class than raising money
through the income tax (assuming you don't let the millionaires off the hook like the Governor did).
