ALBANY — New York Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman is doubling expense allowances to $10,000 for the state’s judges, who are working an 11th straight year without a pay raise.

The special compensation, first set at $5,000 last year by then-Chief Judge Judith Kaye, covers items such as travel, robe dry cleaning and judicial license plates. The allowance will cost the state about $13 million.
