Warren Redlich, is an attorney and town councilman in upstate New York. He's a candidate for Governor seeking both the Libertarian Party and Republican Party lines. Yesterday, he sent out a release listing the most overpaid bureaucrats in the state of New York. <\/p>

From the release:<\/p>

Albany – The Metropolitan Transportation Authority faces deficits amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars. While these problems threaten New Yorkers with new taxes, they haven’t affected the MTA’s fat payroll.<\/p>

According the SeeThroughNY.net<\/a> database, the MTA had 54 people making over $200,000 in total pay in 2008, with over 8000 making $100K or more. <\/p><\/blockquote>

The top names on the list:<\/p>

<\/a><\/p>

The MTA 200K club includes CEO Eliot Sander as the highest paid with $290K, and dozens of other executives, including William Norwich, the Senior VP of Operations for Long Island Bus ($259K), and Joseph Smith, Superintendent of Maintenance for NYC Transit ($256K).<\/p>

The club also includes a number of regular workers. Ronald C. Dunne earned $283K as a Car Repairman for the Long Island Railroad. Some other $200K+ positions were Road Car Inspector, Conductor, Engineer, and Police Officer.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Redlich's solution is to simply cap the Metro Transportation salaries, and put an overall cap on public sector pay at $100,000 a year along with a pension cap of $75,000:<\/p>

\"Governor Paterson and others would increase taxes and adopt measures that hurt regular workers and reduce service. We can save more money by cutting at the top.\"<\/p><\/blockquote>
