Not a “freeze” but some lawmakers, and the former Republican Attorney General now Governor-elect, will be donating any raise of take home pay to charity or back to the state.
From Morning Call:
Some legislators say they will continue to give the money to charity or back to the treasury.
Corbett said the issue of automatic cost-of-living increases should be scrutinized, although he stopped short of advocating a repeal of the 1995 law that guarantees them for certain state employees.
“I certainly want to have discussions with the Legislature about the issue of COLAs,” he said.
The raises, authorized by a 1995 law, are based on changes in the U.S. Labor Department’s Consumer Price Index for the mid-Atlantic states for the year ending in each October.
