4% salary hikes will go to legislators, the Governor and other statewide elected officials.

But not in Illinois.

In California.

I asked my State Representative, Barb Wheeler, what happened re legislative salaries in Illinois and she replied,

“We voted not to take it.”

Now that a budget has passed, legislators will get paid for May and June.

In April, State Comptroller Leslie Munger decided to put legislative pay checks at the end of the line until a budget was in place.

  1. It’s nice that they voted against a raise for themselves.

    Just imagine the torches, pitchforks, and TEA Parties which would have ensued if they had voted the other way?

    Have a happy and safe Independence Day!

  2. **Now that a budget has passed, legislators will get paid for May and June.**

    FWIW, last I heard, the Comptroller hasn’t actually said that she is going to pay legislators yet.

    Her office has said just that they are reassessing.

    Also, nice clickbait headline.

    Hopefully your readers will actually read the content of the post.
