Ill. GOP senators get extra work, pay after losses
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Republicans in the Illinois Senate hold a dubious distinction: because of a November shellacking, every one of them will hold a caucus or committee leadership post.
The (Springfield) State Journal-Register (http://tinyurl.com/a7pjrwj ) reported Tuesday that every GOP senator will receive a stipend for extra work on top of a $68,000 salary.
Some will even pull double duty. The 59-seat Senate has 21 standing committees but just 19 Republicans.
