Of pay-hikes, recriminations, and more

The Inquirer letters continue to be full of anti-pay-hike venom, with this week's batch including comparisons to Terrell Owen's demands for a more glittery contract, among others. More interesting is a Pittsburgh opinion column that manages to cover a billboard company's unwillingness to carry ads highlighting the salary-hikes of some prominent legislators (from both parties); some western PA pols getting challenges from upstarts riding the outrage; questions of whether Republicans may yet feel their leader's wrath in a manner comparable to DeWeese's demotion of nay-voting committee chairs (see previous story here); and a few smaller unrelated bits.
