>> I would not be surprised if many of them work in the NYC area where the standard of living is much higher than the rest of the state. Now, that's funny. NYC makes me gag. I cannot imagine living in that shithole.

Even in New York City, part time government employees making over $100k doesn't make a lot of sense. If they struggle on what they make, they can take some other full time job, or move out of the area. And yes a lot of them work for the GOP, they are in the majority now, and the majority gets more of the cushy positions. I wasn't making a partisan point, having a bunch of over paid part time people on the government payroll, esp. when they largely serve as political operatives, isn't a good thing whatever party is doing it.
