A secretary at a public high school in Lancaster, PA, said she was pleasantly surprised her pay went up $1.50 a week ... she said [that] will more than cover her Costco membership for the year.

I'm SURE she's really happy about that, too.
It's amazing how little it takes for some people to be bought.
Oh - you don't remember? 
Well, do you remember what happened with the mid-terms in 2010? Oh, yes, THAT you remember! 
along with everything else
Sounds like something I would email him...
"Gee thanks, my pay went up a whole $1.50 a week. That will more than cover my Costco membership..."

raise. Movie popcorn is crazy expensive. Hope they don't use too much salt and end up needing medicare for hyper tension.
Than PA public school employees who are Repugs! I'm sure she benefits from her local ESPA (public school support staff union) which the R's can't wait to kill. Wait til her insurance premiums go up in July like ours will, so long 1.50 and much more. 
to Paul Ryan!
Those whose employers were quick to make the change welcomed the extra money — anywhere from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars.
Wayne Love, who works in managed care in Spring Hill, Florida, got an extra $200 in his paycheck last week, which he said will help offset a $300 increase in the cost of his health insurance.

Julia Ketchum, a secretary at a public high school in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, said she was pleasantly surprised her pay went up $1.50 a week. She didn’t think her pay would go up at all, let alone this soon. That adds up to $78 a year, which she said will more than cover her Costco membership for the year.
No worker should anticipate a negative impact from the new withholding table if their pay remained the same, said Joseph Rosenberg, a senior researcher at the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.
However, someone who got a raise may face a higher tax rate as a result. And some corporations have been handing out bonuses and wage increases in reaction to passage of the law. A worker’s net pay may also fall if other factors that go into their paycheck changed — such as an increase in health insurance premiums or higher state taxes.
