I've partnered up
with Lulus to create two separate looks that you can wear from the board room to happy hour.
A lot of people in the Legislature could make much money elsewhere, including having cushy $ 120K jobs in local governments (even
with lulus, most Albany legislators make under $ 100K).
In 2014, he made $ 113,500
with lulus and another $ 10,508 for travel expenses.
State lawmakers have for generations enriched
themselves with lulus — extra payments given out for a long list of committee leadership roles.
Last year, for instance, the New York City Council did away
with lulus as part of a deal to raise its members» salaries to $ 148,500, a large pay increase that towers over the base pay for state legislators: $ 79,500.
Not exact matches
But the average lawmaker in the Senate and Assembly earns a lot more, according to an Empire Center report released last year: In the Senate, the average pay
with legislative stipends or
lulus is $ 96,565.
And each year, the legislative chambers dole out dozens of
lulus,
with the richest payments being decided by the ruling party, and generally going to the most experienced and loyal members.
We only should be talking about raises if the increases come
with ending compensation for committee chairs — known as «
lulus» — and restricting their ability to earn outside income.
He also doles out Assembly leadership positions, which come
with cash bonuses known as «
lulus,» and his handpicked allies become the chairmen of the key committees that determine which bills come to the floor.
But the pay increase comes
with a catch: Council members would no longer be able to earn outside income, and they would have to give up the extra payments for holding leadership positions known as «
lulus.»
Senior legislators are also rewarded
with «
lulus,» which are stipends for chairing committees or holding other leadership positions.
Most of the reforms are very popular
with good government groups — who have argued for years that
lulus should be abolished and believe that elected officials should be paid well to encourage good candidates to run for office.
Weather aside, what's kept New York from being like California, for better or worse, is the state Senate, which Democrats have been thisclose to flipping for years now without ever quite getting there, what
with upstate's fear of the city running the whole show, and Democratic senators taking
lulus (Albany - speak for bribes) and other enticements to switch teams and caucus
with the GOP, and Cuomo content
with that power - sharing arrangement that positions him at the top of the three - men - in - a-room triangle.
Sources say Soares» office has yet to reach out to IDC or GOP senators in his
lulus probe — but he reportedly discussed it
with Sen. Mike Gianaris, a power in the Democratic conference, over a week ago.
«There's no question that
lulus should be done away
with.
I'm teaming up
with my friends over at
Lulus to share one of my favorite outfits for the trip — this pretty gingham printed dress (
with a fun wrap detail), paired
with these edgy studded kitten heels, and this cozy tassel scarf!
DISCLOSURE: Thank you so much to
Lulus for partnering
with me on this post!
