Editorial questions secretaries pay and ethics
In Our Opinion the $19 000 salary for secretary Y Marjorie Flores is highlighted as a $6 000 annual raise bringing her to $19 203 a year and $115 extra per week. The piece argues it reflects poorly on taxpayer costs citing Congressman Adam Clayton Powell and his wife Mrs Powell with salaries and a $7 500 raise to $30 000 last year.
