2019 Commission on Legislative, Judicial
& Executive Compensation
Temporary Senate President
Andrea Stewart-Cousins' appointment of
Seymour Lachman
Disqualified for interest, arising from his
nonfeasance as a scholar and head of a college institute on
government reform, to take any steps to rectify the ABSENCE OF
EVIDENCE-BASED SCHOLARSHIP of the New York State constitution and
state governance, such as embodied by CJA's declaratory and
citizen-taxpayer actions against the state, challenging the "force
of law" compensation commissions, their reports, legislative rules,
the judiciary, legislative, and executive budgets,
"three-men-in-a-room" -- and furnishing him, at the outset, with a
July 9, 2012 proposal for scholarship of Court of Appeals' decisions
on constitutional questions, beginning with its February 23, 2010
decision in the judges' judicial compensation lawsuits, as to which
the ONLY analysis was by CJA, demonstrating its illegitimacy.
