  • Pennsylvania state lawmakers, judges and top executive branch officials will get a heftier salary increase in 2025 than the average Pennsylvanian saw during the past 12 months.

The article from WESA discusses a proposed 3.5% pay raise for Pennsylvania's state officials, including Governor Josh Shapiro, lawmakers, and judges, set to take effect in 2025. This increase, which would adjust the governor's salary to $247,126, is part of a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) based on the Consumer Price Index for the previous year. The raise, which is automatic unless the legislature votes to reject it, has sparked debate among legislators. Some argue that the increase is necessary to keep salaries competitive and attract qualified candidates, while others believe it's inappropriate given the state's financial challenges and the economic pressures faced by many residents. The salary adjustments are part of a broader discussion on public sector compensation in Pennsylvania.
