York Legislators Pushing to Raise Their Pay"
NYT (Danny Hakim, Tymaine Lee)
"The lawmakers also have enviable health insurance and pension
plans.
They get $154 per diem when they travel to Albany.
...Perks? They get free dental insurance, according to the
Department of Civil Service,
and most are enrolled in the Empire
health insurance plan for state employees,
in which the
state pays 90 percent of the premium.
And after 20 years, they
can retire with a pension equivalent to 30 percent of the average
of their highest three years of salary."
