Governor Carey Cheers for 15000 Lulus Amid Constitution Issue
Albany AP Gov Hugh Carey pushes a $15,000 annual lulu expense allowance tucked into a draft state worker pay raise bill. The move, on top of his $85,000 salary and $14,000 mansion entertainment allowance, may violate Article 8, section 7 of the state constitution which bars increased compensation during a term. The bill, not yet submitted, seeks a summer pay hike for state workers. Carey argues lulus are expenses, but critics call it compensation. Other top officials also receive lulus, with some proposed increases misread in the draft. Patterson noted Carey claimed $4,700 in expenses between March 1978 and March 1979 and tax records show $7,613 in excess business expense deductions.
