48 New York workers got more than $200k in salary, pension [View all]

ALBANY - The number of state workers who earned a salary and a pension last year plummeted 44 percent, but there were still 48 people who raked in more than $200,000 from double dipping, state records show.

The number of so-called double dippers dropped from 2,636 in 2015 to 1,830 last year. The number peaked at 2,800 in 2013, the annual review of the data by the USA Today Network's Albany Bureau found.

There were also 24 state workers whose pension and pay each topped the $100,000 mark, according to the state Comptroller's Office records obtained under a Freedom of Information request.

Additionally, nearly 300 state workers had a combined salary and pension of $100,000 or more.
