PA Officials Get Raise
As the new year begins, over 1,000 elected officials in Pennsylvania are set to receive a salary increase. This change is expected to impact various government positions, including the governor’s office. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro will experience a significant boost, making him the highest-paid governor in the United States. This development is a result of a law enacted 30 years ago, which aimed to adjust salaries for elected officials periodically.
In a recent video message, Governor Shapiro reflected on the past year’s accomplishments, highlighting Pennsylvania’s progress and growth. The salary increase is likely to be a welcome change for many officials, allowing them to better support themselves and their families. As the state continues to evolve and address new challenges, the adjusted salaries may help attract and retain top talent in government positions.
