Why are state lawmakers and Constitutional Officers still getting their regular pay when other payments are delayed?
The only time the Controller can withhold salaries for elected State officials, their appointed staff and others who are not covered by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act is during times when there is no budget in place. With a budget in place, the Controller has no discretion to withhold salaries when there is an appropriation from the Legislature.
