In Harrisburg a bill tied to Shafer’s cost cutting would raise pay for PLCB and Turnpike Commission members including two PLCB members from 17 57 000 to 24 000 and the chairman from 18 000 to 25 000 plus two Turnpike officials from 18 000 to 20 000 and the chairman to 25 000. The piece lists sample salaries for state offices such as Research analysts 15 000, community affairs 12 075, highways 17 899, and health 19 644 among others, criticizing the move as an example of political cronyism alongside tax increases.
