Denying Lawmakers Cost of Living Increase

“

Madam Speaker, I rise to make a correction on the vote on passage of H.R. 5146, providing that Members of Congress shall not receive a cost of living adjustment in pay during fiscal year Madam Speaker, I would like to state for the Record that I support the denial of a cost of living adjustment for Members. The correct vote for rollcall No. 226 would have been 'aye' instead of 'nay,' providing that Members of Congress shall not receive a cost of living adjustment in pay during fiscal year 2011. Again, I want to state that Congresswoman Jackson Lee opposes the cost of living adjustment for Members of Congress as stated appropriately in H.R. 5146.
