NEWSROOM FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Astorino wants full accounting on county pay outs
Rob Astorino, a Republican running against incumbent County Executive Andrew Spano, wants the county executive to release how much he and his other deputies are due in unused vacation and sick time when they leave office. He also wants a full accounting of what members of the Spano administration are currently due in such payments. “No one gets paid for unused sick time in the real world,” Astorino said. “Only in an administration like this one would a top insider draw 34,000 extra dollars for showing up at work. Andy Spano has allowed this to go on throughout his administration. That kind of mismanagement is irresponsible and wrong.” His call comes a week after The Journal News reported that former Deputy County Executive Larry Schwartz was paid roughly $83,000 for unused vacation, sick and longevity pay, which is consistent with county policy. The information was obtained under the state’s Freedom of Information laws. The paper reported that Schwartz was paid $48,236 for unused vacation time, $34,340 for sick time – half of what he had actually accrued – and another $204 in longevity pay.
