Pay Slash Passed Despile Prolonged Attempts to Kill 11
JUNEAU UP) — A bill cutting
legislator’s per diem pay and an
nual salaries by a little more than
10 per cent passed the Senate 16-4
Friday, despite prolonged at
tempts by two Democratic Sen
ators to kill it.
The bill was approved after
leaders in both parties urged its
passage in the interests of har
mony as a less than “ideal” com
promise.
After the Senate adjourned,
however, one of the leaders of
the opposition to the pay cuts,
Sen. George McNabb said he
would move to have the action
rescinded.
McNabb, after speaking for
nearly a half hour in an effort
to indefinitely postpone action on
I the measure, found himself in the
I awkward position of voting for
i it.
McNabb said he voted in favor
of the cuts so that he would be
in a position of being able to ask
for reconsideration, but the Sen
ate adjourned before he could
give notice.
The measure cuts per diem al
lowances from $40 to $35 for all
legislators from outside the Ju
neau-Douglas 5th District, where
the slice would be to $25. The per
diem would be paid for each day
the Legislature is in session and
on those days necessary for travel
to and from the capital.
Annual salaries would come
down from $3,000 to $2,500, but
an allowance of $300 a year would
; be granted for such costs as post
age, stationary, stenographic serv
ices and other expenses.
The President of the Senate and
the Speaker of the House would
receive an extra $500 a year. They
now get $600.
Voting against the measure
were Sens. Lester Bronson, Eben
Hopson, A1 Owen and Vance Phil
lips.
Phillips said he felt the pay
cuts were not sufficient.
