        is that their taxpayer funded salary? because you can buy one much much cheaper.

          No, current salary for all representatives outside of a handful of leadership positions is $174,000. This is the cumulative cost for everything else (staff, expenses, etc).

          I personally think $174k is a bit low for salary, especially given the COL for the area and the importance of the role. I’d like to see that increase, while also increasing our expectations from our reps (i.e. jail time for bought politicians).
