Senator Jon Tester wants members of Congress to permanently give up their automatic yearly pay raises. Under current law, members of Congress automatically receive yearly cost-of-living pay increases unless members vote to stop the increase. Now, Tester has introduced legislation that would permanently end automatic pay raises for members of congress.

Tester’s bipartisan bill is cosponsored by Senator John McCain of Arizona.
