Alberta United Conservatives vote to boost MLA pay, taxpayer funding for their caucus
- Alberta United Conservative members of the legislature voted to increase MLA salaries for the first time since 2013, aligning with the province's average public service rate increase of 2.5 percent.
- The current annual base salary for MLAs is almost $121,000, with additional pay for extra responsibilities like cabinet positions.
- The decision includes an extra $1 million in taxpayer funding for the caucus to support research and public communications.
- Official Opposition NDP leader Christina Gray criticized the decision as self-serving and out of touch with Alberta's cost-of-living crisis.
