    Mario Monti Has Renounced His Own Salary As Prime Minister of Italy

    Now here is leadership by example I hope the Irish politicians will take notice. Mario Monti has renounced his own salary as Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Finance of Italy. He is going to ask lawmakers to take significant salary cuts too.
