House officials request $33 million in staffer benefits

Posted by LegiStorm on Thursday, May 07, 2009

House staffers might receive $33 million in benefits, according to a story in Roll Call. The possible increase comes as part of the fiscal year 2010 budget request by Chief Administrative Officer Dan Beard.

At a hearing of the Appropriations Subcommittee on the Legislative Branch Wednesday, Beard pointed out that benefits for House staffers lag behind those of executive branch officials and other legislative agencies, such as the Library of Congress. Among the benefits that stand to be created or enhanced with the new money are tuition reimbursement and child care subsidies.

"So many of our employees are young people just starting out," said Beard. "What we want to do is have a benefits package that convinces employees to stay."

LegiStorm makes search engine improvements

Posted by LegiStorm on Friday, October 31, 2008

We have made a few changes to the LegiStorm main search feature, which we hope will improve our ability to give you the information you need.

The main search box in the top left corner of our pages has always been a handy quick search for some of our key data. You have always been able to search for a legislator or a congressional staffer's name. Or you could find the sponsor or destination for a congressional trip.

Now, if you're searching for a specific staffer on our site, the search results now show you what office each person has worked in. Previously, you had to click through each name to see where they had worked.
