When were these raises effective? Are these new positions? What can taxpayers do to get this investigated?
Good to see these extraordinarily over worked staff members are finally getting compensated appropriately. Most of these jobs are extremely stressful, require them to be on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and require a higher education and level of critical thought than most jobs. What I find ridiculous is how little some of these positions were paid.
With the tea party terrorist in office they need a raise!
If these White House REMF’s didn’t show up for work nobody would notice, but our military didn’t report for duty the whole world would notice
As if they need it! Where is the increase for SS and the military, who protect out country? All the “fat cats” should refuse and let people who need the raises have it. There should be NO raises in Washington, period. Let the people in Washington who keep voting themselves raises try to live on what some of us have to do.
wow.. this is no way to stop the spending!!
