ALBANY -- A state lawmaker is donating his salary to nonprofit groups in his Albany-area district for the third straight year.
Assemblyman Bob Reilly, a Democrat from the Albany suburb of Colonie, announced Thursday he was donating this year's entire after-tax salary of $73,000 to groups in northern Albany and southern Saratoga Counties.
Since becoming an assemblyman in 2005, Reilly's salary donations have totaled more than $218,000.
The 68-year-old Reilly, who retired from the state Education Department, says he donates his salary so people will think better of their government.
As an assemblyman, he makes a base salary of nearly $80,000.
