Ka-ching!
A story in the Tribune finds that our congressional delegation isn't like us. They're rich.On average, members of Congress saw their net worth rise 84 percent from 2004 to 2006. More than 60 of the 100 senators are now estimated to be millionaires, including Utah Sens. Orrin Hatch and Bob Bennett. The median income in the Senate is $1.7 million.The median income for Americans is about $43,000, which is about the same as Bishop's net worth. Bishop, left, ranked 430 of 435 in wealth in the House, is an exception to the millionaires' club.
But that probably won't last long, if nothing else, he gets a congressional salary of $169,300, plus his $27,000 a year pension. It'll be interesting to follow Bishop's net worth over his time in office.

He's already been there for almost 6 years, Warchol. I doubt you'll see him worth much more.
