WASHINGTON (AP) — House lawmakers voted for the sixth year in a row on Thursday to deny themselves the cost-of-living pay hike that they would otherwise automatically receive next January.
The move would freeze congressional salaries at $174,000 a year and is attached to legislation to fund Congress’ budget, which passed the House by a 402-14 vote. Lawmakers haven’t received a pay hike since January 2009.
