* Will repay $7,708 from the payjacking of 2005
* Senator Barry Stout is paying back $7,708 over the course of three months beginning in December in a $2,569 monthly reduction from his paycheck. 
Senator Stout voted for the 2005 pay raise and accepted “unvouchered expenses.”
Washington County's Democrat Barry Stout said he's returning $7,700 in three installments that will be deducted from his future payroll. Stout said since the pay raise repeal was meant to return salaries to their previous level, that should include an erasure of the interim pay (Herald-Standard December 2, 2005.)
"I thought it was responsible to return the money to the commonwealth," said Stout, who voted for the pay raise and supported the repeal. "I felt, as a result of supporting the repeal, I had an obligation to return the money” (Pittsburgh Tribune, December 2, 2005.)
