For fourth straight year, Yarmuth donates salary!!

[era veteran]

For the fourth straight year, U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth, D-Ky., has donated his Congressional salary to over two dozen Louisville charities. It’s a practice Yarmuth has been doing since taking office in 2006.


UPDATE: LEO Weekly asked Yarmuth’s office if any other member of Congress is currently giving away even a portion of their salary to organizations back in their districts. A spokesman said they’ve searched for any similar contributions and haven’t found any who do.

That’s disheartening when you consider there are 261 millionaires in Congress, who in 2009 had a median wealth that reached $911,510.


We send one good man to Washington. Right ON

Some others should emulate John.
