bers of government positions are
vacant because Of low wages that the
high turnover in the government
service. due to low wages, costs mil
lions of dollars annually and that
these low-wage employees are forced
to seek outside work to exc out a
living.
The Nolan bill provides for a mini
mum of So a day, or $1O90 a year
for all fulltime government employees.
