The salary of or representation should equal the median salary of the people/population they represent. For example the average salary in Illinois is 54,409. Illinois senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth is making 174,000. I feel there salary should reflect how well there state is doing. Average salary goes up they get more it goes down they get less. Same goes for the house except they would get the average of the district they represent. This shouldn’t be a job about getting rich it should be about representing the people and making their voices heard.
