(KNX 1070 NEWSRADIO) - Ouch for state lawmakers whose pay just got cut Monday.
It's been coming. Lawmakers knew as of a couple of weeks ago that the base pay for legislators would fall from $116,208 to $95,291 as of December 7, 2009.
The governor's salary also falls, though Arnold Schwarzenegger has not accepted a salary since taking office.
The 18 percent cut is on salary as well as on health and other benefits --- including car allowances and money meant to defray the expense of living in Sacramento while maintaining a residence in the home district.
