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.


What is to be expected from these PURPLE THEIVES!
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.
Losers
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?

I have never heard of any country where parliamentarians enacted a law limitingtheir own salaries ,,nornally there is a parliamentary committee to do that job .............It is nothing peculiar to the DR or even to any party here
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.
