More “Second Class” Citizens
Civilian residents of Alaska who work for the federal
government will continue to receive their 25 percent cost-of
living differential but military personnel have been chopped
off.
We can’t figure out how it is any easier for a military
man to provide food shelter and clothing for his wife and
children than it is for civilians working for the government.
The new ruling on the eost-of-living ailowances was
jm-t of a compromise 34 billion dollar appropriations bill pas
sed by both houses of Congress this week.
The cxst-of-living differential will also be withheld from
the paychecks of civilian Alaskans working for the military.
Alaskans, while they don’t like it, are becoming use to
being designated as “second class citizens” but to include
members of the Armed Forces in that category is hard to
take.
If Congress has the answer on how Alaskans and mili
tary personnel can live cheaper up here than civilian workers
from the states we would like to hear it. It should make an
interesting story.
