They have pay FOMO.

Envious Albany lawmakers are eyeing giving themselves fat pay hikes after a similarly self-serving move by New York City Council members, insiders said.

The City Council inflated their own salaries to $175,000, far more than the $142,000 that lawmakers in the state Legislature make in a year.

The raise toppled New York state Assembly and state Senate members off their perch as the highest-paid lawmakers in the Empire State.

“We’re not anymore, the City Council is,” one state Assembly member told The Post.

Republicans do that too, where they're in charge. It happens at every level of government.
