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. The Governor will return to the State the amount his salary is reduced.
Mr. Cuomoâs proposal drew an immediate rebuke from the New York State Council of School Superintendents, which called the average salary for New Yorkâs superintendents of $163,000 on par with the national average of $160,000.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.
