Senator Elijah Reichlin-Melnick Breaks with Party and Votes Against Legislative Pay Raise

Senator Elijah Reichlin-Melnick explained his vote against the pay raise for state legislators, “Today I voted against raising the salaries of state legislators to $142,000 a year. Inflation has hit everyone, and legislators increasing their pay at a time when people are feeling the pain of economic pressure doesn’t feel right. If this were the right thing to do, we could have handled it during the regular session.”
