Some softball questions aimed at outgoing House members. Still kinda interesting. Especially when it comes to the Congressional salary question.

Should be an NYT Gift link, with no paywall.

The problem with talking about the Congressional Salary question is what a lot of the representatives highlighted, people focus on average salaries for positions that require far more than the average talent and have demands more than the average person.

I also found it interesting that there was a committee under Democratic leadership to try to fix how Congress works, but there didn't seem to be that push once Republicans took over, even if some Republicans saw a need to fix how the House works.
