Washington, DC – Today, Representative John Culberson (TX-7) issued the following statement after signing onto legislation introduced by Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick (PA-8) to freeze pay for members of Congress for both fiscal year 2013 and fiscal year 2014.
“I have co-authored legislation which will be on the floor tomorrow to freeze my salary and overturn the President’s Executive Order raising Congressional pay. We need a pay freeze and a hiring freeze for the entire federal government, except the military. This would save a vast amount of money all by itself.”
