MEMORANDUM

Posted: December 2, 2024 01:36 PM
From: Representative Dallas Kephart
To: All House members
Subject: Ending Automatic Pay Raises for Legislators, Judges, and Executive Officials
 
I will soon introduce a bill to end the automatic Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs) the governor, lieutenant governor, cabinet members, statewide elected officials, some appointed officials, judges, and members of the General Assembly—more than 1,300 public officials—receive every year. See 2025 will start with a 3.4% pay raise for Pennsylvania's governor, lawmakers and judges | Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. These officials receive automatic pay raises every year, and members of the legislature never take a vote on them. My legislation will end such a practice.
