In Case You Missed It: Senator Shane Massey Won’t Take Pay When Legislature Returns for Budget Talks

Today the Board of Economic Advisors announced that the state must trim 6%, nearly $420 million, from the state budget.  Senator Shane Massey told WRDW that he will refuse pay when the legislature returns to debate those cuts:

He (Massey) says, if the lawmakers are called back, it would cost somewhere around $50,000. But, he says, if he is called back, he will not accept the money. He says, that is because this is a problem that everyone needs to fight together.
