There were lots of juicy morsels worthy of note in the 2020 legislative session but few were more upsetting than the structure of the raises lawmakers gave themselves.
To wit:
The problem I have is that the legislation, which would boost base pay of members from $28,000 to $40,000 next year, ties future pay increases to the Employment Cost Index to be adjusted every two years.
That means future raises will, for all practical purposes, be automatic. That’s not exactly a profile in courage, dear lawmakers. If you feel you need a raise, then have the guts to vote for it.
