Lawmakers will vote a pay raise for themselves in 2018
“If in the 2018 Legislature lawmakers take the daily pay increase AND the increase in the number of paid days, their average pay would go from $16,380 a year to $18,525 a year, or the 13 percent increase. . . Senate President Wayne Niederhauser, R-Sandy, told UtahPolicy on Monday that he hopes lawmakers “will consider some kind” of pay hike “in a positive way” during the 2018 Legislature. “We tend to put off incremental (pay raises) and then we get way behind,” he said. “It would be better to follow inflation increases” as they come, Niederhauser added, rather than put off pay raises until the commission recommends a large percentage hike to catch up.”
