Abstract

"Politics and Other Mistakes" piece on Sen. Tom Sawyer, R-Bangor, and his lawsuit against members of Democratic legislative leadership claiming they refused to pay him all the money he was owed for his work during the most recent session of the Legislature. When the special session was called, the Democrats approved a resolution which they claimed waived the extra pay law. Steve Rowe, attorney general, reluctantly agreed that the pay cut was unconstitutional, and the Democrats then passed a retroactive law repealing the extra money.
