Senate Votes Down Gov Pay Freeze Extention

Little late, but the best news I have heard all week.....of course many of you wont share in my joy.

Senate rejects pay freeze extension for federal workers - Pay & Benefits - GovExec.com

The Senate on Tuesday voted down a measure that would have extended the federal pay freeze to help fund a sweeping piece of transportation legislation, including approval of the Keystone XL pipeline.
The amendment to the Senate’s Surface Transportation Bill failed 41-57. The Senate voted on many amendments to the $109 billion federal transportation legislation, and the chamber's leadership hoped the full bill would see a vote early Wednesday.

Another example of how they can't do anything right. Why is the Keystone Pipeline included in a spending bill? And $109B is a serious chunk of change.

Personally I don't think pay should be frozen, but they should stick to inflation increases like the rest of us. I know entry level GG pay ladder had an average of 10 to 15% pay jumps every year for at least 5 years (3% then after).

Does this mean they're going to give themselves another raise?
