Bennington returns COLA
HARRISBURG, Dec. 5 – State Rep. Lisa Bennington, D-Allegheny, announced that she returned the 2008 annual cost-of-living increase legislators received Dec. 1, 2007, in one lump sum payment.
Bennington said she is rejecting the 3.5 percent COLA, which totals $2,549, because: “It is the right thing for me to do.”
