A commission tasked with assessing the salaries of Maryland’s top government officials is recommending a pay raise after the 2022 elections.
The Governor’s Salary Commission, a seven-member panel appointed every four years, voted last week in favor of proposals to raise pay, which has remained static since 2018, for the governor and other statewide positions.
The General Assembly will decide in January whether to concur with the commission’s recommendations or lower the proposed increases.
