Senate OKs bill to raise per diem for electors
OLYMPIA – Electors who cast their vote for the state’s choice for president would get more money in 2016, under a bill that passed the Senate Friday morning.
Pay for presidential electors in Washington was set in 1891 at $5 a day and 10 cents a mile for the journey to Olympia. It hasn’t been changed since.
The Senate approved House Bill 1639 to give electors a per diem for lodging and food as well as mileage that equals the regularly adjusted rates for state officials. Right now, that’s $77 a day for lodging, $46 a day for food and 56.5 cents per mile.
Sen. Mike Padden, R-Spokane Valley, offered an amendment that would change the rates to $25 per day and 50 cents per mile, saying the rates need to be adjusted but not quite so generously for a job sought by plenty of people. Padden’s amendment failed on a voice vote, and the bill passed 38-10. It already passed the House and goes next to Gov. Jay Inslee.
