Rep. Schneider to Give Back Salary During Government Shutdown

Statement

U.S. Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10) announced today that as long as the government remains in shutdown, he will return his salary to the U.S. Treasury.

"In the real world, when people don't do their jobs, they don't get paid," Schneider said. "Because some Republicans in Congress continue to hold fast to a narrow ideology they knew would force a shutdown, Congress is not doing its job to keep government functioning. Therefore, I will be returning my paycheck until Congress does the responsible thing and finds a solution to this unnecessary and harmful shutdown."
