State agency directors nominated by Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte will receive more pay than their predecessors who worked under Democratic Gov. Steve Bullock.
Gianforteâs office announced Monday that all state agency heads will receive higher pay, ranging from 5% to 46%. The governor cited low pay compared to other states as the reason for the increases.
âMontanaâs pay for agency directors has been among the worst in our region and country,â Gianforte said in a statement. âWeâre looking for folks who can make our state agencies more responsive to the people they serve and more responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars.
