Mr. Munson’s letter about shutting down congressional pay when they can’t come together is just a starting point (Our Readers’ Views, Oct. 7).

Next let’s link all congressional pay increases with federal hourly wage increases. Since 1990, congressional salaries have almost doubled. The same should be said about hourly wages.
There is always a starting point for improving democracy.
