Created by W.H. on June 08, 2014

Compensation of Members of Congress
The most recent pay adjustment for Members of Congress was in January 2009.
Since then, the
compensation for most Senators, Representatives, Delegates has been $174,000.
The only exceptions include the Speaker of the House ($223,500) and the President pro tempore
of the Senate and the majority and minority leaders in the House and Senate ($193,400).
(research from(http://www.senate.gov/CRSReports/crs-publish.cfm?pid=%270E%2C*PL[%3D%23P...))
I would like to petition a 10X the minimum wage of the represented state salary cap. With an annual pay increase of 2.5%
This would prompt more people that actual want the job and not just the pay check to work for the position.
