Iowa lawmakers consider small pay raise proposal
Base legislative pay sits at 14 600 a year with leaders up to 21 900. A proposal would add about 730 yearly. Polk County staff receive 25 daily while others get 40 for the first 100 session days. Jochum, unopposed for 1986 bid, says action now avoids ineligibility for a raise until 1989 under the Iowa Constitution.
