But he voted every chance he got to cut military pay and benefits...
Alcee L. Hastings doesn’t deserve a pay increase, a decrease perhaps.
a convicted felon BTW
Life was so much easier when he could take bribes . . .
I want to throw up when I see crap like this. When are people going to get the torches and pitchforks out?
Guess he spent all that bribe money he took when he was a judge.
BTW, here’s a little tidbit. Hastings ranks #1 in the House for putting family members and friends on the payroll. His girlfriend alone earned more than $600,000 in salary between 2007-2010, according to Judicial Watch.
As for Hastings being poor - that is apparently true. Wikipedia has him at nearly $5 million in debt. I guess nearly 200 grand a year wouldn’t look like much when you’re spending like an Obama budget.
Alcee Hastings...the clean, never has done anything wrong is his life, representative. /sarc
What does it say about the district he represents, that voted him in after Debbie Wasserman Shultz? Ugh. Double ugh.
Are you speaking of the former impeached, convicted, and fired Democrat Federal Judge Hastings? The one convicted for taking bribes on the bench? I thought so. Imoeachments are resume builders for Democrats.
When I am not satisfied with my pay, I tend to start looking for another job that pays better. Why stay if the pay isn’t enough to live on? Guess that idea is way beyond the atmospheric levels of the minds in D.C.
How about this for the Article 5 Convention.
Amendment:
All US Representatives and Senators shall receive compensation from the State that they represent, in an amount to be determined by that State. All expenses incurred by any State delegation to Congress shall be borne by the State that they represent.
It's getting harder and harder making money on the side selling graft, corruption and access so his wallet's a bit thin these days.
The impeached and convicted Federal judge Alcee Hastings? Why, yes, it’s the same guy! Who knew?!?
If there were really justice in this country, he would be working in a prison job for a few cents an hour.
If someone who makes $174 K a year can’t make ends meet....they have some serious issues....like stupidly...
Impeached judge Hastings is probably one of the most corrupt congress critters feeding at the taxpayer teat....
Hit the road Jack.....
Servants of the people.
An old fashioned notion...
If your not making enough money at your currant job, go find one that pays more.....
Some people just don’t have common sense!!!
Cut their pay.
This is the guy who was taking bribes.
Alcee Hastings, who was impeached and removed from the Federal bench...
