Senate approves pay raise for servicemen
The Senate unanimously approved a broad military pay raise affecting most active duty personnel and reservists, with increases ranging from five to 120 dollars monthly for enlisted grades and larger boosts for officers. The measure, costing about 1.23 billion yearly, goes to the House which already passed a similar bill. The plan includes new allowances for danger duty and for personnel unable to bring dependents, and allows some retirees to refigure retirement pay.
