Congresswoman Ann Wagner

[Guest TankerHC]

Just saw a post from a relative. Congresswoman Ann Wagner R-MO. sent a letter to one of her Constuints. That she asked in the event of a government shutdown her pay be stopped. More bs or did she really do it. I noticed she "asked that her pay be stopped". Asking and doing are entirely different things.

it may take an act of congress to refuse the pay.   Not sure what the process is but doubtful its something accomplished in 24 hours eps with the paper pushers on vacation.

This guy has that one beat:

 

 

 

On Saturday, Rep. Pete Gallego (D-TX) introduced a bill to designate members of Congress as "non-essential employees," meaning they would be stop being paid along with the other federal employees starting on Tuesday.

 

 

Wagner is one of a few people doing this, but the really cool one is Rep. Gary Peters who said he will take his check and donate it to charity while everyone is furloughed.  Many of the ones asking to not be paid are just doing it for show because they know they have to be paid no matter what, their request isn't valid in any way.

Bingo!

The unions have announced they'll be suing for back pay from the shutdown but I don't think they'll have to.

And any public sector union, who shouldn't even exist, should be shut down permanently.
