Dean
opposed to
pay raise
State Senator Roscoe Dean
today released an official let
ter from the Secretary of the
Senate in Atlanta which shows
that he voted against the leg*
islative pay raise bill which
recently passed the legists
ture.
The letter states that on
February 20th Dean voted no
on a roll call vote concern
ing the pay increase. It also
states that the Senator voted
no on February 21 when the
bill was reconsidered and is
is recorded in the official
senate journal.
Senator Dean stated that he
never voted to increase his
own salary since he has been
in the legislature and that
he never will. The people al
ways come first to me, he
said.
Following is the letter from
Hamilton McWhorter, Sect,
of the Senate, to Senator Dean.
Dear Senator Dean:
This is in response to your
request that I check the Sen
ate Journal for your vote on
the salary increase bill for
legislators and other offic
ials, SB 108.
On February 20th, on the
roll call vote on passage of
SB 108, you voted “ no ”.
On February 21st, after re
consideration of the bill, the
vote was by a show of hands.
The hand vote was 30 in fa
vor and 18 against. After
the vote was taken, you were
one of the 18 who requested
that it be shown in the Jour
nal that you voted “ no ”
on the bill.
I trust this information will
be helpful.
Sincerely,
Hamilton J. McWhorter, Jr.
Secretary of the Senate.
