WASHINGTON — Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman of Aurora wants to cut congressional salaries by 10 percent and force federal civilian employees to take a two-week furlough in an attempt to cut costs, his office said Thursday. Coffman says the cuts would save taxpayers about $5.5 billion.
The proposal also would cut congressional office budgets and trim salaries by 10 percent, except for some jobs in public health, safety, national security and law enforcement.
