The Village Manager\u2019s base salary exceeds that of 37 U.S. governors, and it exceeds that of the Cortlandt Town Supervisor, Linda Puglisi, by approximately $27,000. It contains terms that could cost village taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars in continuing benefits over the next several decades.<\/p>\n<p>The Village Manager also gets a car and free gasoline. The base salary before perks is $170,000. Andrew Cuomo &#8211; Governor of NY &#8211; has a salary of $179,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I never get involved in local stuff, but this is interesting.
