Teaching legislators not to double dip

that is not double dipping. They only get per diem. If we had a salaried legislature it would be a different. We need teachers and other regular people in the legislature. As it is only the rich, well-compensated (paid leave) and retired can afford to serve. We should encourage educators and others who are involved in public service to participate and bring their skills to government a couple months a year.

The only experience they could bring is how to waste money on conferences, catering, and travel!

They should choose - legislature or teaching, otherwise the taxpayers pay triple - the teaching pay, the legislature pay, and the substitute teachers pay.

True for direct compensation, other than per diem, however the 'side' benefits/compensation and P2P are something else.

What exactly do you call the money that they get? I don't care if you call it by some other name, the taxpayers pay for it!

They get plenty in per firm and expenses covered, plus a cozy retirement! The real pay however is access the all the revenue collected from taxpayers which they control by way of directing capital projects toward the connected!

So very true!

Not only an extremely generous retirement they don't deserve and only pay $600/yr for to get something like $22k/yr after 12 years(?) but medical benefits too!!
