Democrat Larry Kissell ran his congressional campaign last year against Republican Rep. Robin Hayes, a multi-millionaire, with this subplot: common man versus the plutocrat.
With Kissell about to take office representing the 8th House District, his first act is a pledge not to keep the automatic $4,700 cost-living pay hike for members of Congress that went into effect in December, reports Rob Christensen.
Kissell has signed on as a co-sponsor of a bill offered by Republican Rep. Ron Paul of Texas that would revoke the cost of living increase.
"During these difficult economic times, it just isn’t right for Congress to give itself a pay increase while so many people are struggling to make ends meet, and so many others are out of work altogether,” said Kissell, a former high school social studies teacher.
