It seems that whenever an upcoming presidential campaign race begins to simmer ever so slightly, at least one of the would-be candidates comes out with a proposal related in some way to the pay of federal officials. Case in point: Hilary Rodham Clinton thinks it would be a good idea to link congressional pay raises to increases in the minimum wage.

 

Tom Shoop is vice president and editor in chief at Government Executive Media Group, where he oversees both print and online editorial operations. He started as associate editor of Government Executive magazine in 1989; launched the company’s flagship website, GovExec.com, in 1996; and was named editor in chief in 2007.
