AFTiger 282 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Business as usual and will continue as long a we keep voting them in there. House, Senate vote to give selves 60 percent pay raise3/8/2007, 12:10 p.m. CT By BOB JOHNSON The Associated Press MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP)  Members of the Alabama House and Senate voted Thursday to give themselves a pay raise of about 60 percent. The House approved the resolution raising the annual compensation for lawmakers from $30,710 to $49,500 in an unrecorded voice vote shortly after going into session, and many members said they were not aware the pay raise was going to be introduced. The Senate quickly followed by passing the measure, also on an unrecorded voice vote. Several Republican senators tried to get a recorded vote, but the presiding officer, Lt. Gov. Jim Folsom Jr., ignored their shouts and raised hands. The scene of the crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
