The short answer is yes. They have approved pay raises for themselves time and time again as minimum wage has remained nearly stagnant. It has not even come close to keeping up with inflation. And something that is even more outrageous is the fact that many of them are millionaires to begin with!

Absolutely We should readjust their pay to reflect their attention and participation, attendance.
That sen kerry had 274 (?) bills but voted only 67 (?) the rest of the time he was on the ski slopes or some junket.
As I remember the Senate score board for each bill has a "yea - ney - abstain".
I don't believe it adds to the total membership very often.
The next thing is, a dozen analysts or more have reviewed and taken the bill apart to simplify it for the legislator's (ALL) decision making.

Only someone who doesn't work for congress can see it for how it is and ask a question like that.
