Santo Domingo.- With nearly two weeks of harsh criticism from business, the clergy and civil society, the Chamber of Deputies bowed to pressure Friday and will meet Monday to debate the Senate’s rejection of its amendments which sidestepped wage caps for government officials.
Chamber president Abel Martinez said the deputies are forced to accept the rejection of its amendments, otherwise the piece would expire and would have to wait until after August 16 to debate again. "The government wage regulation law is of great importance for the country and we welcome it, although I understand that some deputies could make some kind of observations."
In Thursday night’s session the Senate rejected the deputies’ amendment to the wage regulating law to exclude the Congress, noting that it’s illegal because as the Constitution stipulates, lawmakers cannot legislate for their own benefit.
Senate president Reynaldo Pared said everyone must sacrifice and Congress sends a poor signal and would lose authority if was to be excluded from the application of that initiative.

I can imagine the bill was rejected on purpose to buy time for the chamber to come up with a revised bill that on face value appears to have wage caps for officials. The smoke and mirrors will be the creativity used by the chamber to hide the new perks the government officials will receive to compensate for a wage cap on their titles.
zooma,
Either that or they are hung up on working out the Price Structure for renting out the National Palace for Birthday Parties!
The PURPLE Rift comes out in PUBLIC!

“PRSC believes Wage law generates confrontation of powers; requests to postpone discussion”
"
The Social Christian Reformist Party (PRSC) proclaimed today that the piece of legislation has sparked a inter and intra confrontation among legislative and executive powers, that has been generating a war of insults between Senators and Deputies, as well as dozens of warnings and claims of unconstitutionality from constitutional organs, powers and other autonomous bodies of the public administration."
