In a statement, Westchester Board of Legislators Chairman Bill Ryan thanked the Compensation Advisory Panel work its work but gave no indication of whether the legisalture would adopt its findings.
They worked hard over the last three months to address a difficult issue,” Ryan said in the statement. “The report they have submitted today is thoughtful and deliberative. The legislators will carefully consider their recommendations.”
In its report, the committee calls for a 7.5 increase in the base salary of legislators – an increase of $3,690 to $52,890 – that would go into effect on Jan. 1, 2010. They also caled for a 7.5 percent increase in Ryan’s stipend. The raises are equal to an annual pay increase of 2.5 percent stretching back to the last time board salaries were increased 2006.
Board of Legislators Minority Leader George Oros, in a telephone interview today, he was not prepared to vote for any pay raise for legislators.
