Our poor Senators. What a sacrifice… for the good of the country in a difficult time, they’re taking a pay cut… a whole 7 dollars a month (from 117,600 pesos down to 117,500 pesos). I hope none have to resign for economic reasons, or because they’re going to limit the amount of free snacks and cookies passed out at meetings. Wanna bet PRI hogs the cookies, and only will share them with PAN, sometimes?
