A local Long Island pol just got her salary hiked to nearly $50,000 for a procedural side gig that calls for her to work a measly six and a half days a month — and she says the dough still isn’t enough.Dorothy Goosby received the $10,000 annual pay bump as deputy supervisor of the Town of Hempstead, hiking her pay for that post to $48,000 a year — meaning that when combined with her $82,000 salary as a member of its town council, she rakes in nearly $130,000 in taxpayer money for both positions.The job of deputy supervisor involves one duty — temporarily replacing the supervisor if they’re absent, according to Hempstead town code.Goosby has only done so once — and for not even an hour.She filled in at the time in August when then-Supervisor Don Clavin abruptly resigned.By definition, the job involves working six and a half days a month, with each workday capped at six hours, according to the town’s own statements made to the state comptroller during a May 2022 meeting. Town Supervisor John Ferretti told The Post that while Tuesday’s raise might seem unusual, the bump reflects the 30 years of service that the hard-working Goosby has given to the community and that she was entitled to it.Goosby herself claimed later that she had no idea how large the bump would be — even though she was at Tuesday’s meeting when it was voted on — and even added that it’s still not enough, according to Newsday. “All I know is — they told me I got one,” said Goosby, who stayed out of voting for her own raise.“I’ve been here 30 years, almost, so I need to have something, sometimes it’s still not enough,” said the councilwoman, the only Dem on the all-Republican board.Ferretti had removed Goosby’s proposed pay bump from the 2026 budget in October, according to a video recording of the meeting — but with the election over, the bump was quietly reintroduced.Some of Goosby’s constituents accused the Dem and her Republican board colleagues of usin...
