“Strike the iron while it is hot” is what some may start to say regarding a proposed bill that is on Louisiana’s legislators’ plate. A pay raise authored by Joe Marino(I -85) would raise the legislator’s pay from $16,800 to $60,000. That’s a whopping almost 400% increase in pay for a job that is not full-time.
