Really, you will see, even millionaires find reason to steal. What was needed was not exorbitant salary increases but a front loaded and lucrative deferred comp with reasonable vesting conditional on the execution of their responsibilities clear of bribery and corruption. There should always be attractive value at risk for improper acts. Any conviction in a court of law would encumber this asset.
This a form of theft. They are using their power to unilaterally attribute to themselves part of the taxpayers' money.
The PPP should make the coalition look stupid by refusing this pay increase.
