BISMARCK, ND (KFGO) - Gov. Doug Burgum would be paid $1.00 a year under a proposal okayed by a senate committee.
He pledged during the campaign that he would not accept his paychecks. He makes about $132,000 a year. The house had earlier rejected the pay amendment and representatives would have to go along with it.
Burgum has been trying to find a way to return his salary to the state.
The governor's office says Burgum will keep his state-paid health insurance.
