I think the American people should know the members of Congress are underpaid, Moran, D-Va., told CQ Roll Call. I understand that its widely felt they underperform, but the fact is that this is the board of directors for the largest economic entity in the world.
Moran says the congressional salary isnt enough for some lawmakers, who have to pay for housing in Washington and in their home districts. He notes there are members who sleep in their offices, rent little apartments or rooms from others on Capitol Hill or share housing with their colleagues while they go about their business in Washington.
