Do as we say, not as we do
The State Senate has ordered a freeze on hiring and salary increases ... except for a few people it wants to hire. Democrats are going forward with the new majority office it plans to open in Buffalo.
However, the office is expected to be staffed with six new employees, rather than the 10 originally mentioned.
Former heavyweight boxer Joe Mesi, unsuccessful in his try at elected office, already has been hired (at $70,000 a year) as regional director of the new office. Some people just can't lose.
Others, like New York taxpayers, sometimes feel they just can't win.
