Minnesota House DFL leaders abandoned a proposal to raise daily expense payments for legislators by 20 percent amid resistance over a potential squeak-through vote. Metropolitan area members would rise from 25 to 30 dollars, outstate from 33 to 40, while Senate already kept 25 and 33. The move follows prior salary debates and a veto on a 1974 salary increase.
