Senate OKs bulk of raises
Opposition from the House could compromise plan
The Arizona Senate approved a reduced rendition of the pay raise for state employees yesterday, but the proposal faces an uphill battle in the House.
The structure of the reduced plan would give a 5 percent increase to workers - including UA employees - who make up to $55,000 a year and a 3.5 percent increase to those making $55,000 to $82,000 a year. Workers making more than $82,000 a year would not receive an increase.
