A citizen salary-setting panel adopted a recommendation on October 15 that freezes the salary of Washington Governor Bob Ferguson for two years. The panel also froze the pay of the attorney general and the lieutenant governor. However, the panel agreed to grant state lawmakers, the superintendent of public instruction, the treasurer, and the commissioner of public lands increases of 2% in 2027 and 2028.
