2002 JOINT RESOLUTIONS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
WHEREAS, Pursuant to Article II, Section 21A of the Maryland Constitution,
this Joint Resolution may be amended to decrease, but not increase, the salaries
recommended by the Governor's Salary Commission. The salaries may not be
decreased below their January 2002 levels. If the General Assembly fails to adopt a
Joint Resolution in accordance with Article II, Section 21A within 50 calendar days
after introduction of this Joint Resolution, the salaries recommended by the
Governor's Salary Commission shall apply effective January 15, 2003. If the General
Assembly amends this Joint Resolution, the salaries specified in the Joint Resolution,
as amended, shall apply; and
WHEREAS, At the meetings, conducted from November through December,
2001, the Commission evaluated gubernatorial compensation relative to a number of
principles: growth in the responsibilities of the office, compensation commensurate
with the stature of this high office, changes in the cost of living, maintenance of a
reasonable differential between the Governor's salary and of other major State
officials in Maryland, and acceptable comparability with salaries of the governors of
other states. The Commission selected tentative salaries for the two offices and
solicited public views regarding its proposals. Thereafter, the Commission made its
final determinations which are presented in this Resolution and discussed in the
Commission's Report, dated January 2002; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF MARYLAND, That pursuant
to Article II, Section 21A of the Maryland Constitution, the annual salaries
recommended by the Governor's Salary Commission be adopted as follows, to be
effective January 15, 2003, for the 4-year term of office:
Governor:
For the first year, $135,000;
For the second year, $140,000;
For the third year, $145,000; and
For the fourth year, $150,000; and
Lieutenant Governor:
For the first year, $112,500;
For the second year, $116,667;
For the third year, $120,833; and
For the fourth year, $125,000; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be forwarded by the Department of
Legislative Services to the Honorable Parris N. Glendening, Governor of Maryland;
the Honorable Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Lieutenant Governor; and T. Eloise
Foster, Secretary of Budget and Management.
