Delaware's lawmakers have given the green light to the state's 2027 budget, a move that promises a modest boost to the wallets of thousands of state employees. According to the approved budget, most state employees can expect a 3% raise, a welcome respite for those who have been watching their purchasing power eroded by inflation. The budget, which was finalized in Legislative Hall, also allocates funds for various state projects and initiatives, including education and infrastructure improvements. As the budget now heads to Governor John Carney's desk for signature, state employees are eagerly awaiting the official implementation of their pay hikes.
