Agnew Excluded From Senate Pay Increase Battle
A Senate vote left Vice President Spiro Agnew out of a pay raise package as lawmakers approved a $12,500 raise for Senators and Congressmen to $42,500 while shelving a proposal to grant Agnew $19,500 to reach $62,500. The move keeps Agnew at $43,000 for now, far below the President and cabinet/ Supreme Court salaries. In the House, calls to repeal a 41 percent raise faced slow progress as sponsors fight to roll back gains, while a local library cost survey cites rising operation and utilities amid growing county use.
