Newsom and California lawmakers to get pay raise amid improving economy
Gov. Gavin Newsom, California legislators and other state elected officials were approved to receive a 4.2% salary increase this year after a state panel cited improving state finances and higher raises going to rank-and-file state workers as factors in the decision.
Dalzell said the commission action does not preclude elected officials from voluntarily waiving part of their salaries, as a handful did last year amid pay cuts to rank-and-file workers. The newest bumps in pay were questioned by Jon Coupal, president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Assn.
