Congressmen Take Pay Cut Bid To Tame Inflation
In Washington a move by Rep. John McCollister to cut all lawmakers and officials earning over 36 000 a year by 10 percent aims to set an example amid inflation. The plan, supported across parties, would drop salaries from 42 500 to 36 000 for Representatives and Senators, with the President and federal judges exempt. McCollister cites the 42 percent raise as fueling price increases and urges accompanying spending restraint. In Nome Alaska a different tale notes: Tessy the Shetland pony is to be removed after hoarding garbage cans irking residents, shifting from town pet to air transport north to Kenai. The move follows complaints, police pressure, and rising cleanup costs, highlighting Nome’s decline from a bustling gold rush hub.
