Someone cited 9/12 of their salary as 130,000 which is roughly correct. I was then trying to say that if someone was trying to average the number would actually go up as the Speaker makes the highes salary in the legislative branch followed by the President pro temp in the senate then the house and senate majority and minority leaders
