WASHINGTON — Even before they did a minute's worth of work last week, Mississippi's lawmakers in Washington got a $4,700 raise.<BR/><BR/>The wage hike that went into effect after the 111th Congress was gaveled in on Tuesday raised the average congressional salary from $169,300 to $174,000.<BR/><BR/>Although it's pegged to a cost-of-living index, the raise has provoked scorn among those seeking to cut federal spending. Some lawmakers - including several Mississippians - also think it's a bad time to get a pay raise.<BR/><BR/>"It's one of the most ridiculous things Congress is doing right now," said Paul Williams, vice president of policy for Citizens Against Government Waste. "We have people hurting right now financially and they (lawmakers) are sitting down getting a pay raise."<BR/><BR/>Williams wants Congress to vote to stop the raise but says chances are slim that will happen. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has not indicated she is willing to allow a vote that would stop the raise, nor has Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.<BR/><BR/>Yet many lawmakers, perhaps feeling heat from cash-strapped constituents, say they're willing to forgo the raise.<BR/><BR/>"I just think this is a bad moment for us to take a pay raise," said 1st District Rep. Travis Childers, a Democrat. "I'm not opposed to a pay raise. I'm just opposed to one this year."<BR/><BR/>Childers is a co-sponsor of a bill introduced by Rep. Harry Mitchell, D-Ariz., that would stop next year's automatic pay increase.<BR/><BR/>Mitchell sponsored a similar bill last year in hopes it would stop the $4,700 pay raise that went into effect last week.<BR/><BR/>But that bill drew only 34 sponsors, far short of the 218 needed to propel the legislation to a floor vote.<BR/><BR/>Things are different this year. Since Tuesday, Mitchell's bill has drawn 63 co-sponsors.<BR/><BR/>"When our constituents are sacrificing just to make ends meet, I believe this is the wrong time to pad our paychecks," Mitchell wrote in a letter to Pelosi earlier this month. "I believe that working together, members of Congress should stop the next automatic pay increase from taking effect in 2010."<BR/><BR/>Congress approved a law in 1989 that made the yearly increases automatic and pegged the hikes to the Labor Department's Employment Cost Index.<BR/><BR/>Congress has rejected the automatic increase only six times since then. The latest was in 2007, when Democrats used their new majorities in Congress to block the pay hike to retaliate for GOP inaction on a minimum wage hike. This year's pay raise will cost taxpayers $2.5 million.<BR/><BR/>Second District Rep. Bennie Thompson, a Democrat, said he "would support an effort on an up-or-down vote without a problem."<BR/><BR/>He said pay raises were voted on when he was a Hinds County supervisor, and he would be "very comfortable" if Congress adopted the same practice.<BR/><BR/>Some lawmakers say they need the pay hikes to keep up with cost-of-living increases, especially in the nation's capital, where prices for housing and other necessities are high.<BR/><BR/>Lawmakers also say their jobs require them to pay for two residences, one in Washington and one in their home states, stressing family budgets.<BR/><BR/>But 3rd District Rep. Gregg Harper, who was sworn in to office Tuesday, said he would have supported efforts to stop this year's pay raise had he been in Congress last year.<BR/><BR/>"If it comes up again, I'll vote against the increase," Harper, a Republican, said.<BR/><BR/>Mississippi's other congressional members - 4th District Rep. Gene Taylor, a Democrat, and Republican Sens. Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker - could not be reached for comment.**<BR/><BR/><BR/>Typical!!!!

She knows she will be lucky to even get one wish done, much less the millions she is asking for. I wish it were that easy.....some of her wishes I don't understand...the old Mason building on Washington Ave. restoration?? That belongs to MACE not the city, why is she asking for federal city grant funding for it???? Who does she owe at MACE?? A health and wellness center SPECIFICALLY for the GPD and GFD personnell??? 2 million for that??? I really don't see a need for that expense for two groups only...they can go to the Y, the city can conver their membership a lot cheaper than 2 million wasted.<BR/><BR/>The Mayor went to Germany and Spain in November for what?? Because she is the Mayor that is why...did she bring any results of her trips...of course not... now D. C. courtesy of tax dollars?? Duh?? I have no recall of any prior Mayors making so many out of the country trips or even in the country trips, during their tenure...why does she??? Because she loves to travel and abandon her job at home!<BR/><BR/>As for Obama, I am sorry, I am not one of the worshipers. I do not believe he can perform miracles...I wish he could...just as other presidents before him, he is not or should not be almighty and all powerful, that is not Democracy, that is communism and a dicatatorship. Unless Congress, The House and The Senate support him beyond anything ever known in history and that is not likely, then his hands can be just as tied...if Bush was so bad, why is Obama adopting his policies and personnel in his assignments and procedures???? Hmmmm...maybe he has come to realize about the war, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" The war is in the final stages of victory, any changes or schedules pushed ahead might cause a backlash of consequence ever known to mankind. He better stop and think before he makes "changes" until he knows what the heck he is doing and the potential consequences.<BR/><BR/>As for me, I will not be watching the Inaugaration....not because he is a black president; but because I feel and truly believe he is more of a false prophet than a leader.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29570776.post-82967662502927670032009-01-19T20:43:00.000-06:002009-01-19T20:43:00.000-06:00Why is it that when all of the other 43 presidents...Why is it that when all of the other 43 presidents were elected there was no mention of color, race or racism?<BR/> All of a sudden a BLACK man get elected its all about race and the BLACK people?

Greenville is on its downfall because of give away programs.<BR/>Is it possible that the Mayor used this as a business trip so the taxpayers of Greenville could pay for the trip ? Could she have not gone after the inaguration ?<BR/>I wish our new president much success but he will not have success by bailing out every little town in the USA. My thoughts are maybe he should come to Greenville and cut out some of the Govt checks that come in every month to the people who do not work or have 4 or 5 children and cannot afford one. Awww let me stop: we all know what the problems are in Greenville and we all know Hudson is not the answer to solving them.<BR/>Good luck President Obama and if you will just help us get rid of all the thugs and build us a new jailhouse with the right leadership we can turn this thing around on our own. Just cut off all Govt money to those under 55 and put that money in the city budget and we will never ask for anything else.
