BOSTON (AP) — Democratic legislative leaders want to revisit a more than two-year-old report that recommended pay raises for the governor, other constitutional officers and top lawmakers.
House Speaker Robert DeLeo and Senate President Stan Rosenberg said in a joint statement Tuesday that the Legislature’s Ways and Means Committee would hold a public hearing Thursday on the report issued by a Special Advisory Commission Regarding the Compensation of Public Officials.
The report from the nonpartisan panel was issued in December 2014 but quickly receded into the background on Beacon Hill. No public hearing was held at the time and the recommendations were never brought forward for a vote.
DeLeo and Rosenberg did not indicate in the statement whether they planned to support the pay raises, but said they looked forward to hearing testimony.
