Adding another 59 bills to its list of “pension sweeteners” now on the table in Albany, bringing the total to a whopping 189, the Citizens Budget Commission gently notes, “none of these sweeteners should be adopted.”

In fact, it’s beyond shameful that so many legislators push these giveaways — basically handing cash to government employees at the public’s expense.

Sweeteners enhance pension or other benefits for members of a given union. Every year brings dozens of new ones, some of which pass both the Assembly and Senate — mostly to be vetoed by the governor.

But the unions and their politician pals keep it up, since it costs them nothing to play this lottery — and sometimes they score.

Heck, legislators routinely ignore the requirement to provide an estimate of a sweetener’s cost to the public — and get away with it. Of the new bills that do include such “fiscal notes,” one stands out: It would add $943 million a year to the burden on the public, merely by fiddling with cost-of-living-adjustment rules.

New York public-employee unions have plenty of power when it comes to collective bargaining. There’s no need for the Legislature to shower even more gifts on labor.
