Reply to comment by JaredSeth in NY lawmakers vote to raise their own salary by 29% by Unable-Ad3852

Technically, they haven’t done it before. A commission set the increases/cap before. The court case was most about whether the commission had the authority to do so. The court said it didn’t.

The legislature passing the cap by itself is on much firmer legal ground.

Keys say they set the cap to be 15% of their salary.

By raising their salaries or at least trying to they are also raising that cap.

the cap is not tied to their salary - it is tied to the existing cap on income for retired state pensioners
