Not even Donald J. Trump’s driver makes that much and he’s been with the real estate tycoon for 10 years. The chauffeur’s salary is among the $185,000 that the utility spent last year to provide company officials with cars and chauffeurs. News of the expenditures comes as the company seeks an $85-million rate increase, or about $50 more a year from its customers.
