Pay hikes for Maryland officials trigger constitutional changes
The House Constitutional and Administrative Law Committee in Annapolis approves a constitutional amendment to allow public officials to receive salary increases during their term. Governor Mandel’s administration sponsors bills to repeal the no-raise rule, citing hardship for long term appointees like Workmen's Compensation Commissioners. Proposals include raising PSC chairman pay from 16000 to 40000 and other members from 9000 to 35000, plus plans for full-time PSC positions, two substitute commissioners, and higher pay. The budget adds 1.4 million to keep prisoners in local jails and 273,500 for State Police overtime as spending climbs from federal to state levels.
