McCrory's budget proposal contains no across-the-board raises, COLAs After two weeks of weather delays, on Thursday Gov. Pat McCrory unveiled his spending plan for the next biennium, with $21.5 billion in spending in the 201516 fiscal year. The proposal did not contain an across-theboard pay increase for all state employees, instead opting for raises to certain groups. It also contained no cost-ofliving adjustment for retirees. It is SEANC’s goal to improve these numbers as the budget process continues in the General Assembly. In order to make that goal a reality, members should make their voice heard by contacting their lawmakers.
NEW DATE! Bowling for Scholarships! Due to the impending winter weather and the postponment of the Board of Governor's meeting, the second annual SEANC Scholarship Foundation Bowl-a-Thon also has been postponed.
The administration rationalized their piecemeal approach to funding pay raises as money “better spent in hard to fill positions. Targeted [pay raises] is better-than-across the board to attract retain and motivate state employees.” Click here for more budget details and the rest of the Legislative Update.
