Virginia's attorney general says he will fight pay raises for the General Assembly in state Supreme Court.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=03-Richmond/File Tape;]
Attorney General Mark Earley finally took a stand today -- saying it is unconstitutional to raise per diem and office allowances for legislators.
Pay increases were supposed to go into effect on July first but Earley blocked them.
Today he asked that
"both the per diem and office expenses remain frozen at their previous levels for the remainder of this legislature's tenure."
Delegate Dick Cranwell agrees the per diem pay increase is unconstitutional.
He says legislators should just not take the raise.

Dozens of common medications can be photosensitizers such as:
antibiotics like sulfa and tetracycline.
arthritis pills and medications which relieve inflammation may also
cause photosensitivity.
High Blood Pressure medications including Diuretics and Ace Inhibitors.
