How Much Are Our “Public Servants” Costing Us?

I wanted to share some links with you so that you can see the costs we absorb to staff the offices of Senate and Congress. Take a good look and ask yourself if it is worth it!

At long last, US congressional staff salaries are available for free on the web – and only here at LegiStorm.

Who is employed by Congress, and how much they are paid, is often a source of fascination for the politically aware. Prior to this site’s creation, members of the public needed to visit the document rooms of the House and the Senate in Washington, DC to discover who was being paid what. Now, all this information is available on the web – for residents of Alaska or Zanzibar – at the click of a mouse.

We exist to provide a valuable resource for users. If you have any suggestions for improvement, we would love to know.

Over the coming months we anticipate adding other useful resources. Please stay tuned. And be sure to Register for Updates so you can be informed by email when we upload new data to the site or introduce new features.
