The Wisconsin State Patrol has reached a new contract deal with the state. The deal up for approval Wednesday comes less than two months after a previous agreement that would have boosted starting salaries by more than 20% was rejected by legislative leaders. The new agreement would update pay structure for members of the patrol, based on their years of service, and provide a general 2% pay raise retroactive for the two-year period that ended in July 2019. That is on par with what other state employees receive during that time.
