Spitzer – Sleazier and Sleazier

This choice tidbit from the AP via the Press & Sun-Bulletin:
The New York state ethics investigator probing the Spitzer administration is getting a $15,000 raise after less than a year on the job.
Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno says the raise for Public Integrity Commission Executive Director Herbert Teitelbaum to $155,000 is troubling. The commission is investigating whether top Spitzer aides misused state police to compile records of Bruno’s use of state aircraft.
A Spitzer spokesman says the raise was handled by the Division of Budget to avoid an appearance of a conflict.
Cool. Investigate the gov, get a $15K payoff. Only in New York.

C’mon Jim! This guy certainly deserves a raise. Anyone having to investigate the Spitzer administration at least should get some sort of hazard pay increase.

Hehe. Well Brent, you have a point.
