Senate expands salary panel and raises lawmakers’ expenses
In Harrisburg the Senate advanced a bill to create a five member commission to set salaries for top officials and lawmakers. An amended version boosts legislators expense allowances to 8400, raises total pay, and removes executive boards from the commissions purview. The House previously cleared the measure 106 to 83. The panel would advise on governor, lieutenant governor, cabinet heads, and state treasurer and auditor general with law unless rejected within 60 days. Also on tap: Philadelphia across the bar drink tax for schools and a Sunday liquor sale vote. The Senate and House sessions were scheduled today.
