House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has boosted the maximum rate that lawmakers can pay House staff, with the move being one of her final acts before having to hand over the speaker’s gavel next week as Republicans take control of the lower chamber of Congress.

“It is my privilege as Speaker to announce that the House will raise the maximum annual rate of pay for staff to $212,100,” Pelosi said in a Dear Colleague letter Friday.
