Democrats reevaluating plans to hike lawmakers’ pay
Two day's old, but didn't see this.
WASHINGTON (AP) – A bipartisan push to increase lawmakers’ salaries after a decade-long pay freeze is running into predictable obstacles and could be close to unraveling.
The issue has caused a ruckus inside the ranks of House Democrats, where freshmen in politically competitive districts are recoiling at the idea.
The tumult prompted Democratic leaders Monday night to delay action on annual legislation to fund congressional operations, a measure that Republicans used over the past eight years to block a yearly cost-of-living pay increase that lawmakers are supposed to get automatically.
“That’s something that everybody would have to come together on in terms of bipartisanship,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a brief interview. “Until we have that there’s no reason to even discuss it.”
