What about the pay raise?
No other single issue has come out of the recent
legislative session to cause an uproar like that of the
pay raise for elected officials. It ranged from a
"reasonable" increase for some elected offices to the
whopping 198 percent increase for legislators. And
the justifiable howls of the indignant public have
been heard ever since.
There is not much doubt that a raise in pay for
elected officials is in order. The governor proposed
one level of raises, and a majority of the legislature
went a few steps further, probably thinking that the
fuss would d~e down by election time next year.
A raise is in order if one considers that, in the case
of the many of the state officials, they have to pay
more for the talent they hire than they receive
themselves, such as the Supt. of Public Instruction,
Secretary of State, State Treasurer and others. For
the legislators, the job has changed considerably
since the last raise in 1965. At that time the
Legislature met once each two years and held in-
termitent committee meetings otherwise. Since that
time, there have evolved annual special and regular
sessions of increasing length, and now the entire
body has embarked upon a "continuincl" conceQt of
operation. If this is to continue, then more pay ts =n
order.
The question is--Is this creep toward a full-time
legislature necessary? Are the problems of gover-
ning the state increasing to the point of needing this
increase in commitment from its elected
representatives--which should be paid for?
There are two initiative propositions now in cir-
culation that will help to slow the pell-mell direction
that the legislature is taking. One is Initiative 280,
proposing to limit special sessions to thirty days.
This would effectively limit the continuing concept of
the legislature. The other is Initiative 282, to limit
pay raises. This will very effectively put the brakes
on the swing to a full-time legislature. It will continue
to keep the emphasis on a part-time, citizen
legislature.
The thoughtful citizen will want to consider which
he feels is the best for the state--part-time or full-
time legislature, and make up his mind about the pay
scale. And also make up his mind about citizen-
legislator input in legislation which reflects many
viewpoints of many vocations and areas of the state,
or go to the professional politician.
