BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The Idaho governor and other statewide elected officials could get a pay increase in January following the November general election.

Legislation introduced Tuesday would bump the annual pay of Republican Gov. Brad Little, if he wins a second term, to $151,400 from $138,302.

The lieutenant governor, a part-time position, would get 35% of the governor's pay, or $52,900.

Current Republican Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin is challenging Little for his job.

The secretary of state, state treasurer, schools chief and state controller would get 85% of the governor's pay, or $128,690.

Republican Attorney General Lawrence Wasden, if he remains on the job, would get a pay increase to $146,730 from $134,000.
