Crapo, Risch Pay Vote Earns A Jeer

JEERS … to U.S. Sens. Mike Crapo and Jim Risch, both R-Idaho. Along with their Republican colleagues Tuesday, they blocked a Democratic plan calling for equal pay for women. Republicans dismissed it as a campaign year stunt because Democrats gave them a take-it-or-leave-it vote. That’s small comfort to Idaho women, who earn 74 percent of the rate paid men. Idaho ranks below 41 states and the District of Columbia. A separate study said Boise is the eighth-worst city in the nation for the disparity between what women and men earn. In Washington state, the gap is 77 percent - putting it in 27th place/ Marty Trillhaase , Lewiston Tribune. More here.

Question: Are you a woman who gets less pay for doing the same job that a higher-paid man does?
