Yesterday, the Honorables in the NC House passed HB 1687 by a vote of 104-4. This bill would increase the mileage reimbursement rate for legislators to 48.5 cents per mile.
Now, everyone knows the story of Rep. Larry Womble and his new ride. So would it surprise anyone when his comments to the Associated Press are, "Hallelujah, it’s more than past time."
I guess he needs a bump up in the mileage rate to pay for all the gas he’s burning in a car that gets about 10 mpg.
