Schley County Rep. B. D. Pelham will offer a resolution Monday in the House to rescind the body's action of Friday in voting itself a $10 per day increase in expense allowances.
Pelham said Sunday night there was research being done on whether the ``quickie'' vote on the increase can be repealed outright or whether notice would have to first be given that reconsideration of the action would be sought.
While emphasizing that technical details were not fully worked out, Pelham said his resolution would seek to set aside the privilege resolution which the House voted through 87 -- 31.
A similar resolution passed in the Senate by a vote of 29 -- 5. As of Sunday night, there was no word of a resolution being offered there to rescind the action.
Pelham pointed out that Georgia voters last November rejected a constitutional amendment to allow legislators to vote on pay raises for future Legislature sessions.
A veteran Jackson County legislator will ask the Georgia House Monday to back federal aid to education, something it has consistently opposed in the past.
Rep. Mac Barber of Commerce is asking the House in a privilege resolution to ``endorse increased federal support for public education, provided that such funds be received and expended'' as state funds.
Barber, who is in his 13th year as a legislator, said there ``are some members of our congressional delegation in Washington who would like to see it (the resolution) passed.'' But he added that none of Georgia's congressmen specifically asked him to offer the resolution.
