They're not waiting…

…for 'the first 100 hours.' That Congressional pay raise scheduled for the first of the year? Maybe not...
Officials said Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California and Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, the party’s leaders, had notified Republicans they will try to add the anti-pay-raise provision to a bill that provides funds for most government agencies through Feb. 15.

Congress must pass the funding bill before it adjourns for the year, and the target for that is Friday.
In case you'd lost track (I had) The Carpetbagger Report notes that "salaries for members of Congress have gone up $31,600 since the last minimum-wage increase."
