RAW STORYPublished: Wednesday December 6, 2006
Incoming Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi will offer severance packages to the staff members of the outgoing House GOP leadership, according to an article in today's Roll Call.
The story, reported by Susan Davis, reveals that while Senate staff have often been offered severance packages in the past when the body's majority changed over, the Republican Party did not grant this courtesy to Democrats when they assumed the majority in 1994. Severance pay will be provided to GOP House staff, starting on January 4, 2007, for up to two months or until individual staff members find new jobs. The assistance will only be given to key leadership staff and not to rank-and-file staff members of the House's new minority party.
Pelosi has decided that the severance packages are needed to encourage professional staff members to continue working on Capitol Hill.
