Pihos Rejects Pay Raise Recommendations for Lawmakers

(Posted 05/08/2008) - State Rep. Sandy Pihos (R-Glen Ellyn) opposes an estimated 12 percent pay raise for lawmakers saying that the state needs to prioritize its spending so that it takes care of residents’ needs such as paying down Medicaid debts, improving education standards and providing an infrastructure program that will address the state’s crumbling roads and schools.

Members of the Illinois House voted 94 to 8 with six abstaining on House Joint Resolution 132 to reject recommended pay raises for lawmakers. The measure now moves to the Senate where it must also be rejected otherwise the salary recommendations will automatically take effect. - Full Story
