(Harrisburg, Pa.) The automatic pay raise for Pa Legislators kicks in today, boosting their pay to over $95,000/year. With the raise some lawmakers earn well over six figures, depending on the position they hold in the statehouse or senate.
The pay raise doesn’t require a vote because of a 1995 law that bases their raises on inflation.
Pennsylvania ranks third on the list of highest-paid legislatures in the country.
California is number one, followed by New York, and then Pennsylvania, not counting per diem.
