Pennsylvania state Sen. Jim Brewster is asking state legislative leaders to carry a vote this month on his bundle of payments aiming to reforms perks offered to the lawmakers and eradicate per-diem funds.
Raises could be thought of every decade following the U.S. Census and calculated by the Shopper Value Index as an alternative of automated cost-of-living changes every year.
Members of the Normal Meeting could be reimbursed for mileage as an alternative of receiving a state car lease and could be banned from accepting or soliciting items of any worth.
“I’m assured that if the management of our respective our bodies would permit their members to determine the problem, the result would favor the transparency you profess to hunt,” Brewster mentioned in a information launch. “Due to this fact, I request that the reform bundle – together with the measure that ends ‘per diem’ funds – be scheduled for consideration in September.”
Brewster’s payments are pending earlier than the Senate State Authorities Committee.
