Robbins: Senate Votes to Repeal Pay Raise
Legislation Now Heads to the Governor

Harrisburg – The state Senate today voted unanimously to repeal the legislative pay raise, according to Senator Bob Robbins (R-50).

The Senate approved House Bill 1956, legislation to repeal the pay raise for the legislative, executive and judicial branches initially approved in July.

"I have heard from many constituents who urged me to vote for a repeal of the pay raise. I took their messages to heart and supported this repeal measure," said Robbins. "I am pleased that we were able to work with the House to come to a conclusion on this matter so that we can focus on our positive legislative agenda, which includes property tax reform, establishing spending limits for state government, and providing additional support for the Pennsylvania National Guard.

House Bill 1956 now heads to the Governor for his approval.

The Senator will return his pay increase to the Commonwealth. "Simply put, this is the right thing to do," said Robbins.
