PHOENIX -- Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar, who's wrapped-up in a tough Republican primary fight, wants to get paid for a job he says he didn't do.
According to a campaign press release, Gosar co-sponsored a bill that would strip lawmakers of their pay if Congress doesn't pass a budget by the start of the fiscal year.
Since Gosar was elected two years ago, that hasn't happened. But that doesn't mean the Republican politician is willing to give up any part of his $174,000 congressional salary.
The point of the "No Budget, No Pay Act," said Gosar's campaign handlers, is to give lawmakers a reason to pass a budget by the start of October.
