(Philadelphia Inquirer, December 2, 2005.) Senator Hughes voted for the 2005 pay raise and accepted “unvouchered expenses.” Senators Vincent J. Hughes and Joseph Scarnati have seen their salaries soar to $106,986, or 54 percent - a far bigger percentage boost than any other legislator gets. The bill would be especially financially painful for Senator Vincent Hughes, one of two legislators to receive a salary boost of 54 percent given his newly created position as deputy whip. Additional money for that leadership role would die along with the law. (Philadelphia Inquirer, December 2, 2005.)

  • (Philadelphia Inquirer, December 2, 2005.) Senator Hughes voted for the 2005 pay raise and accepted “unvouchered expenses.” Senators Vincent J. Hughes and Joseph Scarnati have seen their salaries soar to $106,986, or 54 percent - a far bigger percentage boost than any other legislator gets. Under a little-noticed provision, the pay-raise law gives Senate deputy whips - new positions now held by Hughes and Scarnati - the same pay as those in certain other long-standing leadership posts. Their pay rose so sharply because, unlike other ranking members, they had been collecting the base legislative pay of $69,648 before the new law. (Philadelphia Inquirer, September 3, 2005.) The bill would be especially financially painful for Senator Vincent Hughes, one of two legislators to receive a salary boost of 54 percent given his newly created position as deputy whip. Additional money for that leadership role would die along with the law. (Philadelphia Inquirer, December 2, 2005.)
