Oregon legislators moved a step closer to giving themselves a large raise on Tuesday, with a Senate panel voting 3-2 to advance a proposal that would nearly double their pay and provide child care stipends.
After Tuesday’s vote by the Senate Rules Committee, Senate Bill 1566 still must clear the Senate’s budget-writing committee and pass the full Senate, before meeting the same scrutiny in the House. If it succeeds, the plan would raise legislative pay from just under $33,000 to about $58,500 beginning in January 2023.
