The piece examines Tom Martin and his staff payrolls detailing his son Richard earning $9,000 in the Senate later in his preparation for law. It notes a 1959 pause in his wife’s pay, Martins’ retirement to Seattle, and questions about the duties of an assistant clerk earning $15,118.68 in 1960. It contrasts this with a new Iowa representative’s nepotism example and reflects on public servants’ pay.
