ATLANTA — Georgia senators have rejected a plan that would nearly double pay for lawmakers and also boost pay for all statewide officials except the governor.
The Senate voted 33-20 to reject Senate Bill 252, raising questions about whether plans for increased salaries backed by House Speaker David Ralston will advance. The House could still vote Monday on House Bill 675, a nearly identical pay raise bill, but if the measure does not advance by the end of the night, it’s unlikely to survive this year.
“I do think that our salaries are too low, but I do think that moving us to a salary that is line with full-time Georgians is not reflective of the work that we do in three months at the Capitol,” said Sen. Greg Dolezal, a Republican from Cumming.
Base pay for the 180 House members and 56 senators would have risen from $16,200 a year to $29,908.
Lawmaker pay hasn’t changed since 1999, according to the State Compensation Commission. Consumer prices have risen 59% since then, according to federal figures.
“I’ve not had a raise in 20 years, and it’s time for us to move the meter,” said Sen. Valencia Seay, an Atlanta Democrat.
Those who support pay raises say many people can’t afford to seek election because of low pay, and that what is supposed to be a part-time job eats up a lot of time even when lawmakers aren’t in Atlanta.
Last year, lawmakers and the lieutenant governor actually took a 14% pay cut, agreeing to reduce their salaries because of state budget cuts.
Rep. Wes Cantrell, the
Woodstock Republican sponsoring the House measure, said the increases would cost about $3.2 million a year.
The House proposal would index legislative pay and expense payments to inflation, while the Senate plan would not. Lawmakers can claim up to $7,000 in expenses each year in addition to per diem.
The lieutenant governor’s salary would rise from $91,609 to $135,000, while the House speaker’s salary would rise from about $99,000 to $135,000. The House speaker pro tem and Senate president pro tem would get an extra $6,000 a year over regular legislative salaries.
Under the proposal, the governor’s salary would remain $175,000 per year, and state Supreme Court justices wouldn’t get raises. But all other statewide officers would get the following raises recommended by the State Compensation Commission:
— Attorney General: $139,168 to $165,6111.
— Secretary of State: $123,640 to $147,128.
— Agriculture Commissioner: $123,998 to $144,653.
— Insurance Commissioner: $120,394 to $143,269.
— Labor Commissioner: $122,786 to $146,115.
— State School Superintendent: $123,270 to $146,691.
— Public Service Commissioners: $121,757 to $138,974.
