Next up: Judges' pay, college construction

Next up: Judges' pay, college construction: "With school finance reportedly headed into final negotiations, two additional topics — pay raises for state judges and tuition revenue bonds to allow colleges and universities to build facilities — were added Monday to the agenda of the special legislative session.

Because legislators' retirement benefits are tied to how much judges are paid, lawmakers' pensions would increase if a pay raise is signed into law.

In separate one-page proclamations, Gov. Rick Perry increased to four the number of issues on which legislators can pass measures over the next week.

Perry had already added the issue of banning governments from taking people's land to benefit private developers to the special session, which is focused primarily on school finance reform."
