Postal rate rise and federal pay boost proposal
A proposal seeks to raise postal rates and grant a federal pay boost based on a congressman's top salary rather than his judge's salary. Sponsors say the measure targets cases like Kilday's. The bill also bars federal officials from naming relatives to jobs within their offices and from seeking relatives' positions in other government offices, though it would not apply to relatives already employed in congressional offices.
