Congress pay dock appeals after missed votes and absences
The National Taxpayers Union says Rep. Jim Slattery of Kansas and two other lawmakers should have pay docked for dozens of missed days in Congress. It faults House Speaker Tom Foley for not enforcing the no work no pay rule. Slattery missed 40 days in 1994, with $14,641 in pay. Craig Washington 60 days for $21,961. Fred Grandy 30 days for $10,980. The group asks for ethics complaints and asks Foley to investigate docking pay.
