That can easily be fixed. Salary is the median (not average, because making more ultra-wealthy shouldn't be encouraged) US income + median COL in DC. Maybe add some extra on top to cover travel and other expenses.

The goal is to make enriching the American people equivalent to enriching themselves. Currently it's usually the opposite.
