Democratic Sen. Luis Sepulveda of the Bronx, for example, took in at least $50,000 last year for his work as a private attorney, while Assembly Republican Leader Will Barclay earned at least $30,000 from his law firm, according to financial disclosure forms., which would make them the highest-paid state lawmakers in the nation.
Under the state constitution, the Legislature is in charge of setting its own pay rate — but it can only increase that salary for future legislative sessions. With the next session slated for January, the Legislature is currently in a sweet spot — after Election Day, and before the start of the new session — where they could hold a special session to increase their pay with limited political blowback.
Hochul has already expressed support for a pay raise for lawmakers. On Thursday, she signaled support for an outside pay cap, too.
