Salt Lake Tribune takes a close look at Cannon's bonuses

Posted by LegiStorm on Friday, April 10, 2009
The Salt Lake Tribune published a story today using LegiStorm's data to highlight the jump in pay former Rep. Chris Cannon (R-Utah) gave his staff after losing his re-election bid in the primary last year.

The Tribune says Cannon aides generally saw bonuses or raises of around 50 percent, and they cite LegiStorm information showing one aide got a 70-percent lift in his pay as Cannon's term ended.
