Gettin' Paid: Bill to guarantee pay increase
Posted by Joe Coastie
Hello again from the land of the obscure finds... I was checkin' the RSS feeds from the last few days (I don't get a chance to check 'em all the time) and I stumbled across something of interest to those out there who care about getting paid.
The item of interest was an introduced House bill (H.R. 5987) to amend title 37, United States Code, to guarantee a pay increase for members of the uniformed services for fiscal years 2010 through 2013 of one-half of one percentage point higher than the Employment Cost Index... Bling! Bling! Unfortunately as I write this Friday morning there is no real text available/attached to the bill as it hasn't been printed by the Government Printing Office yet. And for those of you who are into the political scene this bill was introduced by Rep. Thelma Drake [R-VA]. And though I'm not a Virginian myself, I thank you anyway Ms. Drake... that is, I thank you till I get a chance to read the whole bill.
