Overriding Governor's Veto of Pay Raises Senate #9
Vote Description
This was a vote to override Governor Baker's veto of H58, a bill that would increase the pay of legislators and other public officials on average of about 40%.
Mass Fiscal Explanation
Mass Fiscal supports a no vote because we believe the governor's veto of this bill should be upheld and not overridden because this bill lacks fiscal responsibility. The legislature's leadership has recently voiced concern about not having enough revenue to balance the budget, however they were quick to vote through pay raises for themselves and their friends totaling an estimated $18 million to taxpayers.
