Why is this a "big" story?


Lawmakers rake it in - 03/05/06 - The Detroit News: "Legislative salaries haven't increased in more than three years but now stand at $79,650 -- higher than neighboring states with full-time Legislatures including Ohio ($56,260), Illinois ($57,619) and Wisconsin ($45,569). Indiana, whose Legislature meets about three months annually, pays its lawmakers $11,600 a year."
Maybe the salaries are on the high side but nothing has changed in the last three years. Sounds like The News wants grumpy voters soon.
