Ronald Weiser, Vice Chair, began the discussion by presenting a summary of information he believed to be pertinent to compensation decisions for each office and a rationale for increases, which he informally proposed. His position was that the jobs are under-valued and that a one-time special adjustment was needed. He offered an approach that would tie the salaries for the offices of Lieutenant Governor, Justice, and Legislator to a percentage of the salary for the office of Governor. The rationale he presented was ultimately the basis for the commission's determinations. It is summarized in the following pages, preceding the determinations for each office.
