Revisiting the big House pay raise vote

Sun Herald reader Karen Lott of Sumrall put the question to me today and I decided I might as well stick the answer up here for others who might be curious, as I have had other inquiries. Lott wanted a list of how her local members of the state House of Representatives voted a few weeks back on pay raises for statewide elected officials. The day after the vote, we listed how South Mississippi reps voted, but didn't list how inlanders voted. The bill has not been taken up in the Senate, and if it does most political watchers don't give it much of a chance of passing.

According to the Legislature's Web site, House Bill 859 passed by the
following 61-60 vote:

Yeas--Akins, Arinder, Bailey, Baker (74th), Banks, Blackmon,Broomfield, Brown, Buck, Burnett, Calhoun, Campbell (72nd), Clark, Clarke, Cockerham,Coleman (29th), Coleman (65th), Compretta, Dickson, DuVall, Eaton, Ellis,Espy, Evans (91st), Evans (70th), Flaggs, Fredericks, Gardner, Gibbs, Harrison, Hines, Huddleston (30th), Ishee, Johnson, Lane, Malone, Mayo, Middleton, Moak, Myers, Norquist, Patterson, Peranich, Perkins, Puckett, Reynolds, Robinson, Rogers (61st), Scott, Smith (27th), Straughter, Stringer, Thomas, Upshaw, Warren, Watson, Weathersby, Whittington, Wooten, Young, Mr. Speaker (Billy McCoy). Total--61.
