House backs federal pay freeze bill; Moore opposes legislation
Dem Reps. Tammy Baldwin and Ron Kind joined all five Republicans in the state’s House delegation to support GOP Rep. Sean Duffy’s legislation to extend a salary freeze for federal workers one more year.
The legislation also covers salaries for members of Congress, who have had their standard salary set at $174,000 since 2009.
Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Milwaukee, was the only Wisconsin member to vote against the bill.
