On Pay Raises

Our pal Bob Casey makes the news.

This time it's over his involvement in the state salary debacle of 2005. I'm glad he's taking the high road here. As a named defendant in a lawsuit on the matter (he is a defendant because the state treasury writes the paychecks) he has said that the raises were illegally granted and accepted. And even if it's not illegal (I think it is, too, or at least should be) it's totally backhanded and skunky.
