Senate panel blocks four dollar per diem increase for lawmakers
The Senate Finance Committee rejected an amendment to raise the daily pay of legislators from 36 to 40 dollars amid constitutional concerns over retirement funds and public opinion. Supporters argued the raise would be modest relative to other budget asks, while opponents warned it could threaten the existing retirement scheme. The bill now returns to the House for accord with the Senate measure.
