Legislature Adopts Pay Raise Amid Moral Outcry
Legislators vote to raise their salaries by $150 for pensions then adjourn to observe graves and ponder the afterlife. The press notes broad disapproval of delaying salary debates until session end to push through a late, contentious measure. The piece condemns the move as in poor taste and a sign of weak moral responsibility.
Salary Politics and the Moral Front in Lawmaking
The piece argues against legislators setting their own salaries, calling it a breach of fair bargaining and a threat to public morale. It condemns salary grabs as a political bad faith act, citing Congress as a warning and urging governors to veto such moves to protect state integrity and trust.
