Senate okays one pay raise and eyes another
The Senate approved one legislative pay raise proposal and is considering a second. The first would shift decisions to an appointed board to annually reevaluate pay and fringe benefits for lawmakers, the governor, and other constitutional officers, considering inflation and duties. The second proposal would grant a flat 10 percent raise from 21,120 to 21,232 dollars for this year and next, excluding the seven constitutional officers. If passed, the plan could take effect in 1976 alongside the constitutional amendment approved 284 to something, pushing toward a June 1976 primary election.
