On June 13, Congress finalized a pay raise for itself, to $168,500. The annual increase is $3,300. Every time Congress raises its own pay, filing fees also rise in many states. Many states set the filing fee at 1%, or 2%, of the annual salary.

What a bunch of pigs. I think an independent candidate running on a single issue platform, reducing House and Senate salaries and benefits, would get a heck of a lot of votes.
What are they doing giving themselves a pay raise when we have a huge Budget deficit? I agree with Tim McDevitt, an Independent candidate running against this could get a lot of votes, and actually, ther sort of is one already, Russ Diamond, running for Pennsylvania Governor.
