Buffalo's Bill Stachowski says he's "not interested" in explaining why his Senate leaders are handing out hefty bonuses at the same time that tens of thousands of New Yorkers are being thrown out of work by the worsening economy. Stachowski's NY City-based Democrat bosses handed out $200000 in raises to staff—including a whopping 51 percent hike to one advisor—at the same time that Gov. Paterson is warning that the bloated state budget is billions of dollars in the red. The 11 aides, each earning an average $89500 before the pay hikes—and as much as $161000—will see an average bump of $18000, or 21 percent. In Stachowski's blue-collar Erie County, there were 38000 unemployed in May, and those lucky enough to have a job earn an average $33729 a year, according to the Census Bureau. Some of the raises are back-dated so that the lucky staffers will receive fat checks with as much of a half-years extra pay. The Times Union of Albany listed all the lucky Senate staffers and their new salaries: Lourdes Ventura, counsel for Latino and immigrant affairs, $131150.69 (10.00%) Meredith Henderson, deputy secretary, $140382.43 (30.69%) Mortimer Lawrence, special counsel, $177230.66 (10.00%) Patricia Rubens, deputy secretary, $140382.43 (30.69%) Curtis Taylor, special adviser, $134695.30 (11.11%) Indira Noel, director of intergovernmental relations, $118153.77 (10.00%) Celeste Knight, special assistant, $70191.21 (46.78% hike) Shirley Piper, administrative assistant, $45122.90 (28.57 ...

Obama slams Wall Street on bonuses President calls the $18.4 billion in bonuses paid last year 'shameful' msnbc.com news services updated 7:19 pm ET, Thurs., Jan. 29, 2009 President Barack Obama issued a withering critique Thursday of Wall Street corporate behavior, calling it "the height of irresponsibility" for Wall Street employees to be paid more than $18 billion in bonuses last year while their financial sector was crumbling. "It is shameful," Obama said from the Oval Office. "And part of what we're going to need is for the folks on Wall Street who are asking for help to show some restraint, and show some discipline, and show some sense of responsibility." The president's comments, made with new Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner at his side, came in swift response to a report that employees of the New York financial world garnered an estimated $18.4 billion in bonuses last year. The figure, from the New York state comptroller, drew prominent news coverage. Yet Obama's stand also came just one day after he surrounded himself with well-paid chief executives at the White House. He had pulled in those business leaders and hailed them for being on the "front lines in seeing the enormous problems in our economy right now." The president said the public dislikes the idea of helping the financial sector, only to see the hole get bigger because of lavish spending. The comptroller's report found that Wall Street employees got paid about the same amount of bonuses as they did ...
