A group of House Democrats have introduced legislation that would boost pay for all federal employees by 3.3 percent next year.
The bill introduced Wednesday by Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., and five other Democrats calls for an across-the-board pay raise for federal workers who, he says, have been "demonized and demoralized" by House Republicans.
"Not only has our federal workforce been demonized and demoralized by the constant attacks from the House majority and the Tea Party, over the last four years federal wages have lagged far behind the private sector and have even failed to keep up with the rate of inflation," Connolly said in a statement.

MD's very own card-carrying Communist Elijah Cummings is one of the sponsors of this gem. Do you remember that the Worcester Democrats feted him at the Atlantic Hotel last year? I wonder if everybody's friend Jim Mathias and Mr Chairman Conway arrended.....
