With more than two-thirds majority voting in support, the U.S. House of Representatives voted today to pass H.R. 3835. This legislation would extend the pay freeze of Members of Congress and non-military Federal employees through 2013.

April 29, 2011 I filed a complaint with the GAB re Jeffery Greene and his use of school district of La Crosse equipment and time to send at least one e-mail to various people regarding efforts to elect Steve Doyle.

D. A. Gruenke responded to my complaint to the GAB and requested the police department do an investigation to further determine what happened. The police complied and sent their report to the D A who forwarded the information to the GAB. As the investigation was underway (and still is) I have not had access to the report.

On Friday I introduced H.R. 3835, legislation that would extend the pay freeze of Members of Congress and non-military Federal employees through 2013.

My bill is scheduled to be considered and voted on in the House on Wednesday, February 1st.

With information provided by the La Crosse School District, I have found some interesting facts about the high cost of salary and benefits for employees of the district.

I conducted an exhaustive study of just the support staff, and without covering the entire force of 337 people, I found the secretaries to be rather representative of the whole group.

Using the support staff and the partial group of secretaries helps explain why taxes for the district are so high. The following refers only to the support staff and does not cover teachers or administration costs, which may be higher.

Hello Everyone,
