Give back pay raise

There is nothing restricting Barbara McIlvaine Smith and Andy Dinneman from returning their COLA pay raise to the Pennsylvania Treasury. In fact, this is exactly what Rep. Curt Schroder, R-155th, is doing. Hopefully all our other representatives will be so concerned about our deficit to do the same thing, and finally see fit to repeal the COLA pay raise entirely.

They are simply performing another political trick with our taxes.

Why can’t McIlvaine Smith and Dinneman give the money back to the Pennsylvania Treasury, and back to the taxpayers of this state?
