ALBANY – With the state’s finances souring, Gov. David A. Paterson in July took an important step to control the spiraling costs of government: a hiring freeze for state agencies.
But since the July 30 freeze was declared, 31,684 people have been hired by agencies, according to a Buffalo News analysis of payroll records provided by the state comptroller’s office.
The records do not include hiring at hundreds of state authorities whose payrolls are not maintained by the comptroller.
In the private sector, where we can’t just vote to steal money from people when we want, this is not how hiring freezes work.
