State Raises Illegal Turner Rules Legislature Pay Increases
Attorney General Richard C. Turner declares that legislative employee salary raises approved near the end of the session are unconstitutional due to lacking a two thirds majority in both houses. The ruling cites Article 11 of the state constitution and notes the raise affected secretaries to all 150 legislators. The house vote fell 53 to 24, while the senate had approved 32 to 10. The opinion was sought by State Comptroller Marvin R. Selden and Rep. Edgar Bittle.
