NY Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado Still Receives $220K Salary Despite Having No Office and No Duties

EXCERPT:

SUPARDI (voice-over): "After an unsuccessful bid to unseat his own boss, Governor Kathy Hochul, Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado has kept a relatively low profile. He's still on the job, but what that job looks like these days isn't so clear. So we headed to the New York State Capital looking for some answers. We first checked the space previously reported as Delgado's office. A construction worker answered the door, seeming a bit surprised by our visit. The space? In the middle of renovations. No lieutenant governor there. That office space is just one of the things Delgado reportedly lost after his relationship with Governor Kathy Hochul went south. It started in February of 2025 when Delgado announced he wouldn't seek reelection as Hochul's running mate. In response, the governor severed ties and reassigned his responsibilities. And according to reports, his office space, staff, and state-issued resources were taken away. Four months later, Delgado decided to challenge Hochul for her job, but by February of this year, that campaign was over. And while his political ambitions may have hit a dead end, his state paycheck hasn't. $220,000 a year paid for by New York taxpayers. And that's just his salary for seemingly having no office, no staff, and nothing to do."
