BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A state panel has voted to slightly raise the housing stipend for Idaho's governor as Idaho continues to be one of a handful of states without a governor's mansion.
The Idaho Press reports in a story on Tuesday that the panel voted 3-2 along party lines to raise the stipend from $4,500 to $4,551 a month. That's $54,612 a year.
Gov.-elect Brad Little is scheduled to have a salary of $138,302 when he takes office in January.
Little lives in Emmett. During his political career, he has rented a condo in Boise from a subsidiary of a company owned by his family.
Little says he's fine with the stipend set by the panel.
