FILE - In this Aug. 20, 2014 file photo, Kentucky Democratic Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes speaks in Louisville, Ky. Mitch McConnell is criticizing his opponent for taking her taxpayer salary while campaigning for the U.S. Senate. But McConnell is getting even more government pay while he serves in the Senate and campaigns for a sixth term. A new TV ad cites Alison Lundergan Grimes' $117,000 salary as Kentucky's secretary of state while showing photos of her empty parking space at the state Capitol. Grimes won't say how many days she has missed while campaigning. McConnell makes $193,400 as the Senate minority leader. He has a 99 percent voting record in the Senate for his career.
