💨 Abstract

The South Carolina Senate has voted to increase legislator compensation, effectively giving a $18,000-a-year pay raise. The proposal would increase the "in-district compensation" from $1,000 a month to $2,500 a month for all senators and house members. The overall budget plan, which includes this change, was approved by the Senate. The last time lawmaker compensation was increased was about 30 years ago.
