Will
You Do Your Duty to Apprise the Legislature of its Own Duty?:
(1) to override the judicial salary increases recommended by the
Commission on Legislative, Judicial and Executive Compensation’s
December 24, 2015 Report because they flagrantly violate the commission
statute, in addition to being fraudulent and unconstitutional; and
(2) to strike $33,760,000 of the Judiciary’s “reappropriations”
because they are uncertified/unapproved by the Chief Judge and Court
of Appeals
in violation of Article VII, §1 of the New York State Constitution
– and/or to strike $13,760,000
of this sum because it violates
Article VII, §7 and Article III, §16 and State Finance Law §25.
