Ray Is Cool To Full-time Legislature
Des Moines Iowa Governor Robert Ray says he does not favor a professional full time legislature despite the Iowa House approving a bill raising legislators salaries by 45 percent to eight thousand dollars a year and boosting session weekly stipends. He notes the raise would outpace the eight thousand level proposed by the Hays report and warns voters would reject a true full time legislature. He questions reducing legislative size but values broad representation and notes no pay increase would take effect until after the next election due to law.
