The Virginia attorney general says pay raises for the General Assembly are unconstitutional.
Attorney General Mark Earley says he filed a petition with the Virginia Supreme Court today -- saying per diem and office expenses for legislators should not increase.
The pay increases were supposed to take effect on July first, but Earley asked that the current levels be frozen until the matter could be resolved.
He says he does not believe the General Assembly intentionally skirted the Constitution, but that per diem and office expenses must be challenged.
