    New York Legislature: Get re-elected, retire and then collect a salary and pension

    JAN 8, 2019 —

    The new double dippers Democratic Assembly members Peter Abbate Jr. of Brooklyn and Deborah Glick of Manhattan put in for their pensions as they are seated for another term in the Legislature, according to the state Comptroller's Office.

    ALBANY – Add three more members of the state Legislature to the list of those who were re-elected, retired and started a new term collecting both a salary and a pension.

    The three New York City-area Assembly members this month joined two state senators who lost re-election in November and put in for their pensions, as well as former Assembly Majority Leader Joseph Morelle, who was elected to Congress.

    Morelle, D-Irondequoit, Monroe County, will now collect a roughly $80,000 annual state pension each year along with his $174,000-a-year congressional salary.

    The practice of state lawmakers being able to collect a salary and a pension for the same job when they reach retirement age has long been derided in Albany.

    But doing so is legal, and 15 state Assembly members and six senators double dipped last year, state records show.

    This practice of double dipping should be stopped. If our law makers had the taxpayers interest at heart it would be stopped
    Our legislators want only to protect their wallets. How sad.
    When we vote people with no integrity into office this is what we get.
