Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) introduced a bill to reduce congressional pay to just $1 from the first day of a government shutdown, part of a flurry of bills meant to prevent an extended lapse in funding.

The United States experienced its longest government shutdown yet earlier this year, with lawmakers still receiving their salaries even as staffers and federal workers as a whole went without pay. In an effort to provide a financial incentive to avert another shutdown, Mills’s legislation would cut congressional pay until the government is reopened.
