Senate approves four percent raise for state workers
The Senate approved a four percent pay raise for state employees in a 29 to 11 vote, adding over 86 million to the next fiscal year budget. The move aligns with Gov. Kathleen Sebelius’s plan, but House Republicans favor a 1 percent raise plus targeted bonuses. Negotiations on the 12.2 billion spending bill stalled as House and Senate differ on wage structures and broader tax cuts.
