Crapo, Risch To Donate Pay

Idaho’s all-GOP congressional delegation scaled back constituent services Tuesday during the partial government shutdown. Sens. Mike Crapo and Jim Risch say they will donate the portion of their $174,000 annual pay earned during the shutdown to charity. Crapo is keeping offices in Washington, D.C. and Boise open, but shuttered offices in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho Falls, Lewiston, Pocatello and Twin Falls for the week. All members of Crapo’s staff will be subject to rotating furloughs, with each employee taking at least one unpaid furlough day this week. “Consequently, those who contact the Senator’s offices should expect delays in a response due to reduced staffing,” says a statement from Crapo’s office/ Dan Popkey , Idaho Statesman.
