As it says, $174,000, plus perks that make it worth much more. Conyers and his ilk have no shame. They are nothing but parasites.

Also, if members entered Congress and were not millionaires they were after only a term or two.

For many years they were given special offers for IPOs at sweetheart pricing so they could then unload the stocks after a couple of days when the prices usually increased at rapid rates.

IIRC that practice has been stopped but there are many other ways these leaches have to scam money while "representing" us in Congress.
