In an earlier Commonwealth Court lawsuit , Treasury Department lawyers had
argued that the State Treasurer was improperly joined in the matter because he
had nothing to do with the pay raise - he did not vote for it, he did not
lobby for it, he did not support it.
The brief Casey filed today was in response to a lawsuit Stilp filed in
the Supreme Court. In other words, if a
member of the General Assembly votes to increase his or her salary, the public
should be able to take that vote into consideration when the member stands for
reelection - before the raise goes into effect. The CISO Exchange offers three levels for industry
participation.

, The General Assembly violated the
Pennsylvania Constitution when it voted itself a pay raise in the middle of

Pennsylvania Supreme Court by State Treasurer Robert P.
Casey's action is no surprise considering his well-documented public
opposition to the legislative pay raise, the manner in which it was passed by
the General Assembly, and the use of "unvouchered expenses" as a way to
circumvent the State Constitution's prohibition against legislators raising
their pay in the middle of their terms. that a system of unvouchered expenses such as that established by Act
44 is violative of Article II, Section 8 of the Pennsylvania
Constitution. The Advisory Board
will meet for the first time in April under the co-chairpersonship of
Melissa Wojciak, staff director of the Government Reform Committee,
