Staffers got raises in the House. Now it’s the Senate’s turn, says Schatz

Staffers got raises in the House. Now it’s the Senate’s turn, says Schatz-rollcall:  Sen. Brian Schatz doesn’t want the Senate to get left behind after a year of House action aimed at improving staff retention.  The Hawaii Democrat, who has championed the cause in the past, sent a letter to Senate Legislative Branch appropriators pushing for a 20 percent bump to the allowance that senators use to pay their staffers.
