“Rushed to approve a 35-page deal to fund the government and avert a debt default, senators allowed a few unrelated provisions to slip through.  One was section 146, guaranteeing $174,000 — the equivalent of one year’s salary — to Lautenberg’s widow, Bonnie Englebart Lautenberg.  Frank Lautenberg died in June at age 89. He was named one of the 50 richest members of Congress by Roll Call in 2012, with a net worth of $56.8 million at the time. He purchased a $1.8 million condo at the West End Ritz-Carlton in Washington in 2003.”
