Gov. Rauner signs lawmakers’ rejected pay hike

Gov. Bruce Rauner has signed a law barring Illinois lawmakers from receiving a pay raise this year.

Rauner signed the measure Thursday after the General Assembly voted to reject the increase that would have paid each member of the House and Senate about $1,400 more per year.

The hike was supposed to be automatic because of court decisions and a 2014 law. Fox 2 Now has the story.
