The Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance wasted no time following the start of the new year by calling out State House leaders in the Legislature for their scheduled 11% base pay raise and stipend increase.

Well after normal business hours and with no public debate, the Massachusetts House of Representatives furtively rammed through a 25% pay increase for Massachusetts Governor’s Councilors during last night’s budget deliberations.

It’s the gift that keeps on giving! That’s how legislators and constitutional office holders view the pay hike bill that was originally passed at the start of the legislative session back in 2017.
