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.
