Peabody Rejects Legislature-Modified Pay Raise Bills
Governor Peabody denounced House-amended pay raise proposals for district court judges and state employees. The bills, altered by the Public Service Committee, would raise judges 25 percent but drop a chief justice provision, while teachers would gain 20 percent and lower-grade workers two steps. Peabody urged restoring his original form and warned the state cannot fund higher costs this year, signaling only a 1.5 percent raise for state workers and delaying teacher increases.
