Sen. Jerry Moran has announced that the recent omnibus spending contained a 4.6% pay increase for military personnel. "From a local point of view a couple of appropriation items in that bill. One additional dollars to work on the electric grid at Fort Riley but even of greater significance perhaps is money to begin the planning and design of new barracks at Fort. Riley."

Moran thought that for the first time during his time in the U.S. Senate the increase in defense spending exceeded the increase in domestic spending, non-defense spending." Meaning that there was a greater percentage increase in support for our military for defense and veterans than there was in all the other things we spend money on."
