The Illinois Supreme Court ruled that two former Democratic state senators are not entitled to receive back pay for raises they voted to reject while in office.
The Illinois Supreme Court ruled Thursday that two former Democratic state senators are not entitled to receive back pay for raises they voted to reject while in office.
Noland and Clayborne, as lawmakers “with the power to set their own salaries, introduced, sponsored‚ endorsed, voted for, publicly touted their sponsorship of, and acquiesced to the reduction in their statutory salaries,” Neville wrote. Sen. James Clayborne, D-Belleville, speaks to the media on Aug. 19 2008, at the State Capitol in Springfield.
“We need structural tax reform to properly fund our most important priorities — like education, health care and the ongoing need for infrastructure,” Noland said. “Until we do this, the least we can do is cut our own pay again. I know most working families in Illinois are not seeing raises this year, so we shouldn’t either.
