Slugger Andy: KO bigwig pay

ALBANY — Gov. Cuomo is seeking to strip the state Athletic Commission’s chairmanship position of its $101,600 annual salary.

Cuomo made the proposal in his 2017-18 spending plan unveiled last week.

The move — and the fact it was tucked into the transportation portion of the budget proposal — raised some eyebrows.

Cuomo budget spokesman Morris Peters defended the idea, arguing that most state boards are unpaid policy-making bodies.

The Athletic Commission, which is part of the state Department of State, oversees boxing and mixed martial arts in the state.
