New York State Judges are now planning to sue for a raise since they haven’t had one in a decade.

What seems to be getting the Judges hot under the robe is the fact that the State budget proposal is 6 Billion dollars higher than last year and not one red cent of that 6 Billion is being slotted toward those who handle the legal mess the state generates.

Jeremy Peters of the NY Times wrote an interesting piece on this today and given the fact that NY State just thumbed it’s budgetary nose at $345 million in Federal Transit Aid by killing the congestion pricing legislation, nerves are pretty frazzled all the way around in the Empire state. 

I’m not sure if this will be a class action suit against the state but I’m always curious at lawsuits and the discovery that can arise. In the case of Judges, Legislators and Ex-Governors, this may be a pretty interesting story developing.  We’ll keep our eyes peeled for the complaint filing or other public ink.
