Members of the Arizona Legislature who live outside of the metro Phoenix area will be getting a big increase in their daily expense pay under legislation Gov. Doug Ducey allowed to become law on Monday.

The House wrapped up this year’s legislative session by, among other things, voting to give rural lawmakers more money.  The Senate voted June 29 to pass HB2053, which increases the daily stipend for living expenses for lawmakers outside of Maricopa County during the session. ...

Vaccine passports, abortion bans and an oft-thwarted plan to get more money in lawmakers’ pockets were among the bills that made a late introduction as strike-everything amendments this week.

With only one lawmaker dissenting, a Senate panel voted Wednesday to give themselves and their colleagues a big increase in their allowance -- and do it as soon as possible.

State lawmakers are moving to more than triple their expense allowance.

A proposal to more than triple daily allowances for lawmakers from far-flung counties cleared a key legislative hurdle on Monday.

Voters in Glendale and Tucson overwhelmingly voted down large raises for city councilors this week, marking the latest in a series of ill-fated attempts by policymakers to increase their pay.

Stunned by the governor's veto, some lawmakers already are exploring how – and when – they can finally get an increase in their living allowances.

Gov. Doug Ducey on Friday vetoed a bill that would have more than tripled daily allowances for some lawmakers.

Brushing aside the “optics” of the last-minute action, state lawmakers voted Monday to triple the daily allowance they now get. The move by the House Appropriations Committee came after Rep. Noel Campbell, R-Prescott, urged colleagues to make the vote on the politically risky move bipartisan and unanimous.
