Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that he will reduce his salary by five percent. The salary for the Governor, $179,000, is set by state law and has not changed since 1999.
Mr. Cuomoâs proposal would tie superintendentsâ maximum pay to the size of their school districts, with the leaders of New Yorkâs largest districts limited to a salary of $175,000 and those in the smallest limited to $125,000.bout one-third of the stateâs more than 650 superintendents earn more than $175,000, and Mr. Cuomo said his pay cap would save $15 million. Mr. Christieâs measure, which he introduced last year, imposes a pay ceiling of $175,000, with case-by-case exceptions permitted only for the largest districts.
