House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that she opposes
a cut in congressional pay because it would diminish the dignity of
lawmakers' jobs.
"I don't think we should do it; I think we should respect the work we do,"
Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol. "I think it's necessary for us to have
the dignity of the job that we have rewarded."
The comments were made in the context of the looming sequester, which would
force across-the-board cuts affecting most federal offices, including
Congress. With lawmakers nowhere near a deal to avert those cuts, federal
agencies are bracing for ways to absorb them with minimum damage to programs
and personnel.
Pelosi, whose husband is a wealthy real-estate developer, was quick to note
that a cut in her own pay would be far less significant than that for both
staffers and less wealthy members of Congress.
