      Until it stays that way forever. By law it’s supposed to adjust every year for inflation, but it hasn’t since 2009 as the inflation adjustment gets shot down every year mostly because of the obvious optics of raising pay

      Low pay is a real problem and barrier in local and state government, we shouldn’t want the US congress to add another barrier for people with lower income. There’s already enough barriers already

        They can fuck right off. No leader’s pay should automatically adjust for inflation unless everyone else’s does too.

        They are nowhere near being paid too little.
