These judges are making $137,000.00 per year plus I bet other jobs on the side. Some of them doing a very poor job.
Let them go elsewhere and find a job making that kind of money.It takes most Americans 3-4 years to make that kind of income!!
Our politicians (public servants) that is a joke are vastly overpaid. Hell they just vote themselves another raise!!
For a hundred thirty seven dollars these judges should be held accountable. Fired or jail time for a poor job being done.
I am talking about the judges that pass lite sentences and have those people commit more serious crimes.
Our taxes in New York State (the tax state) are too high!!!!
Lets start voting some of these high paid poor political officials out of office.
Joe Bruno is one!!
My office has passed the raises for the judges. WHY!!!!!
Start cutting taxes in this tax state!!!!
Has anyone ever noticed the JOKES we have running for political office( see the three stooges running for president)
When will people of new yoork state wake up?????

My husband works for Amtrak and hasn't gotten a raise in 10 years. I'm sorry that I can't feel sorry for you.

I would love to run for political office in attempt to change the taxes in this horrible state. I'm a middle class worker sweating in a machine shop so I know what its like to work.

The major problem with me wanting to run is I don't have the millions of dollars its going to take. That right there is the reason we will never see change. Because the people who have the power to change it aren't suffering like the rest of us are.
