With the following caveat/wish-list, I see no problem w/ a ‘career politician’:

- Remove all perks (when did it become OK to rob from the taxpayers to pad their own pockets??)
- Make all junkets/travel paid by the elected official themselves.
- Make all ‘needs of the office’ paid by the official themselves; no one needs 20 ‘aids’ to read/vote on a bill. Hire your own secretary if you need
- As nobody is above the law, there shall be NO exemptions allowed to ANY public servant.
- Sun-shine laws....no more backroom deals
