After several of the state?s largest unions withdrew donations to a Hispanic legislative conference in Albany this weekend, Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Michael Bloomberg are making up the difference.

Both the state and city teachers? unions pulled funding for the conference, known as SOMOS, after the legislature approved a new pension tier for new city and state employees.

In a joint statement Thursday, the mayor and the governor criticized the move, saying, ?We think the unions' actions are unfortunate, and don't want the conference to suffer as a result.?

United Federation of Teachers President Michael Mulgrew had harsh words for both executives.

"The mayor and the governor can?t get around one fact: a middle of the night, sleazy backroom deal with gerrymandered districts and giving a rough time to all the future workers of the state, they can?t get around the fact that that?s what they did last week,? said Mulgrew.

The mayor and the governor will donate $36,000 each to the organization.

Bloomberg will donate from his personal fortune, and the governor will donate from his campaign account.
