Hey, we never knew that
Trolling through the SeeThroughNY.net website, a reporter for the Schenectady Daily Gazette discovered the chairman of the Schenectady County Republican Party has a part-time patronage job in the Assembly.
"The connection was largely unknown outside a tight Republican circle," the Gazette reports.
Thomas D. Buchanan is paid $879 biweekly (which works out to $22,854 a year) as special counsel to the Assembly Minority, according to payroll data listed seethroughny.net.
The Gazette quotes an aide to Assembly Minority Leader James Tedisco who said Buchanan works five to 10 hours a week for the Assembly. Buchanan told the newspaper he has a full-time job with the law firm of Hacker & Murphy.
