Arkansas Senate Haggles Over Employee Pay Increases
The Arkansas Senate tussled over a proposed salary hike for Department of Industrial Development staff. A measure to fund the department for the next biennium failed twice 5 to 8 and 14 to 8, though the expunged votes kept the bill alive. George Locke’s amendment would raise pay for nine upper-echelon workers and a bookkeeper, despite irregular roll calls and resistance from several senators. Locke remained defiant as colleagues pressed to remove his amendment.
