Reservoir Levels Linger Low Yet Not Alarming in High Point

Morgan Backs Tie of Congressional Pay to COLA Standards
In Greensboro Sen. Robert Morgan urged tying congressional salaries to the general cost-of-living adjustments for federal employees. He said the House move to deny such a raise was mainly an election-year tactic, and he now supports pairing congressional pay with federal adjustments. Morgan, not seeking re election, cited a 10,000 a year raise recommendation by a quadrennial commission and defended past FBI criticisms while calling for substantive proof before dismissal of FBI Director Kelley. He pressed lawmakers to home travel and criticized fellow Senators for limited returns home. He spoke during a Sixth District Chambers of Commerce session amid broader views on consumer protection and a pending wiretap bill.
