Congress Members would no longer be permitted to vote themselves or future congress members a salary increase. The salary increase would be determined by a vote of the people on the ballot on election day.
Why is this important?
This law would disable the huge salary increases that congress has voted themselves over the years. They would be more interested in serving their constituents and not lobbyists if the constituents had the power to appraise and give salary increases by merit. This would go along with the system of checks and balances in our government.
