"In
a move that smacks of rank hypocrisy and condescension, Governor
Cuomo announced on Wednesday — in the midst of a televised

$25,000 raise for next year. The decision comes after several
conservative news outlets, including the
New York Post

Fox News,
condemned the Governor’s expected pay increase in the face of a
growing state deficit."
