NY Senators To Be Denied Pay

And good.  Don’t pay those bastards while we the people lose.  Their fragile egos are causing a legislative headlock which keeps their pride somehow intact while totally fucking us. On Wednesday, State Controller Thomas DiNapoli came through with his promise to withhold NY Senate pay if they couldn’t get their shit together:

Thirty-one days into their stalemate, do-nothing warring state senators are having their salaries withheld Wednesday – for the first time since the infamous June 8 Republican-led coup.

State Controller Thomas DiNapoli last week ordered the biweekly paychecks of all 62 senators held until the Senate wraps up its fight.

Wednesday is the first payday since the order. Payroll for 62 senators amounts to some $190,000 – or $3,049 per senator, every two weeks.

“The controller didn’t want to interject his office in what’s an internal dispute, but he just felt he couldn’t continue to process payroll as if everything was normal,” DiNapoli spokesman Dennis Tompkins said.

DiNapoli is moving ahead even though a court has yet to rule on his question about whether he has the authority.

The controller’s office also continues to withhold payments for expense vouchers submitted by the Senate. A spokesman said 557 vouchers have been withheld, totaling $1.5 million

Good.  How can their pay be justified if they can’t even willingly sit through a session?
