NYSUT's leaders get double-digit raises


Teachers union president saw $44,808 increase in a time of layoffs, cutbacks at state's schools.
NYSUT President Richard Iannuzzi received a $44,808 raise, according to the most recent publicly filed tax returns from 2010. His base salary went to $240,180 from $195,372, a 23 percent increase.
Iannuzzi's total compensation, which includes health care, pension and other benefits, is listed at $345,987.
NYSUT spokesman Carl Korn questioned the newsworthiness of NYSUT raises and issued a one-sentence explanation about Iannuzzi's compensation.
"That number contained in our tax return lumps together compensation such as salary, but also personal use of an automobile, pension obligations and other benefits whose costs had increased," he wrote in an email.
