Gov. Josh Shapiro and other government officials will see their salaries increased by 3.4%. The new raise is due to a state law that delivers automatic raises matching the federal consumer inflation figure for mid-Atlantic urban areas. That percentage increase is about one-third higher than the 2.6% average increase for private-sector employees.
