Senator Shane Massey Will Not Accept Pay When Legislature Returns for Budget Talks

Today the Board of Economic Advisors announced that the state must trim 6%, nearly $420 million, from the annual state budget. Senator Shane Massey told WRDW (CBS-Augusta) that he will refuse pay when the legislature returns to debate those cuts.

Massey says, “if lawmakers are called back, it would cost somewhere around $50,000, and I for one will not be accepting any pay. This is a problem that everyone needs to fight together.”
