Cuomo reassessing pension bills

Jordan Carleo-Evangelist

Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office is once again vetting three bills that would bump nine one-time Green Island employees into more generous state pension tiers.

For the second time, the state Legislature passed measures that village officials say will right administrative errors that held the workers out of their deserved tier.

Cuomo vetoed the initial bills last September, saying "closer examination and explanation" was needed.

Assemblyman John T. McDonald III, a Cohoes Democrat, resubmitted the legislation this year, accompanied by a three-page letter from Mayor Ellen McNulty-Ryan detailing why the retroactive bumps — including adjustments for two children of one of her top aides -— are deserved.
