Increase to 50k or an increase of 50k. I was expecting to see something like 250k. But 50k to drop your job and be in public office is still pretty shitty.
Their base pay before was $18k, but that doesn’t include the per diem and other perks they were receiving.
It is low and one argument is only people with money already can take that as a job. So you limit who can realistically run.
Should have read further down.
Was already stated.

State legislators should be part-timers. Get rid of the per diem, adjust the mileage allowance and it's not a bad deal.

True. I was just assuming Alabama was objectively more backwards than Virginia and that they would pay state senators like 5 bucks

They are digging their heels in in VA. I am sorry you live there. Move before VA is full blown Cally.
