The House bill for the salary raises for the Fono has yet to be introduced in the Senate.
Usually bills that clear final reading in one chamber are introduced in the other chamber the next day, but that was not the case for the salary increase bill.
Political observers speculate that the Senate is fast tracking the bond repayment bill first, and send that to the governor before they act on the compensation bill.
Talk in the corridors of the Fono is that some senators were behind the bill and had their House colleague Faimealelei Anthony Allen introduce it.
