Casey's action is no surprise considering his well-documented public
opposition to the legislative pay raise, the manner in which it was passed by
the General Assembly, and the use of "unvouchered expenses" as a way to
circumvent the State Constitution's prohibition against legislators raising
their pay in the middle of their terms.
The brief Casey filed today was in response to a lawsuit Stilp filed in
the Supreme Court.
Jacobs served on the company's board of directors until he resigned from
M/A-COM in April 1985.

In an earlier Commonwealth Court lawsuit, Treasury Department lawyers had
argued that the State Treasurer was improperly joined in the matter because he
had nothing to do with the pay raise - he did not vote for it, he did not
lobby for it, he did not support it. In other words, if a
member of the General Assembly votes to increase his or her salary, the public
should be able to take that vote into consideration when the member stands for
reelection - before the raise goes into effect. Irwin M.
