Financial disclosures show six state senators topped their legislative pay with outside income last year while efforts to restrict it foundered in the Legislature.

Filings at the state ethics commission by all 63 senators show five attorneys and one builder making $100,000 or more from other work.

At the same time, 33 senators report having no other jobs. Legislative sessions in Albany run from January through June but lawmakers maintain offices in their districts expected to help constituents all year.

Most report spouses with incomes, drawing pensions or investment returns in publicly reviewable documents at the Joint Commission on Public Ethics.

Their base pay is $79,500. Many get additional pay for leadership posts. A commission is studying whether they deserve raises.

Most face fall elections.
