Congresscritters wrangle 1452% raise before leaving office

[nalioth]

Yep, more shady dealings involving some of your congresscritters.

Over at the Republic Report, they have an article that states a congresscritter (on average) gets a 1452% pay raise while still in office when they decide to go do work as a corporate lobbyist.

They point out that politicians are allowed to negotiate these raises while they are in office, and don't have to disclose this fact when they're working on legislation that will benefit their future employers.

They don't have to tell anyone where their "pay raise" *cough*BRIBE*cough* is coming from when they're working on laws the benefit the bribe-giver?
