Santo Domingo.- The Deputies approved Tuesday the bill to regulate government wages, but exempts the Congress from the regulations of the legislation which president Leonel Fernandez is expected to sign into law.

The lower Chamber excluded Congress from Article 26 of the piece, which eliminates travel expenses and other perks such as forming part of committees and other activities normal for legislators.

With the amendment, the piece, declared urgent and approved in two consecutive roll calls, returns immediately to the Senate, where it’s also expected to pass as received, but only after the mandatory passing of at least 24 hours.

Do as I say and not as I do.

Reflects somewhat on politicos worldwide, not just in the RD. They are in office to reap the benefits of the ink from their own pens.

Hey Josean, not until last year inside trading was legal only to members of congress and senators, but this was the same law that sent Martha Stewart to jail for inside trading.

Members of congress in the USA only pass laws that benefits themselves. A good living example is Charles Rangels. Tax evation without prison time or even some sort of a sanction.

So that makes it ok, because they do it in Washington too?

In other PURPLE CORRUPTION News:

This has to be the mother of all Corrupt Cost Overruns in Dominican History!

“National Library again opens at Plaza de la Cultura”

“In the official release on the renovation of the National Library the Presidency does not reveal the cost of the project. Hoy newspaper recently reported that the renovation of the Library was originally contracted for RD$88.8 million but ended up costing an additional RD$1.3 billion.’

Lie-onel Fernandez doing what he does best stealing right up to the final seconds of his miserable thieving presidency!

in the islands of the British Caribbean, all such salaries are controlled by a sliding scale. the starting salaries are the same, and the increases are based on tenure.
