This job is not quite as lucrative as you think.

They are not in session 365 days a year.

There is the cost of maintaining an apt. in Nashville, gas expense's for going back and forth, etc.


Also, as another poster pointed out, you must learn to spell y"all if you are going live in the South.

Living in Ill. I imagine that you are already experience in the art of the dead voting. ( just kidding)

I know they aren't in session each day, but their 'allowances' aren't only for the days in session.

Now, I don't necessarily think $83K is an awful lot for a state Rep (its all relative to cost of living), it's just how Tenn, IMO, scams the people with the lowly $16,500 per year salary. Heck be up front about and say we deserve $80,000 a year as we work hard, and be done with it.

You got me on the ya'll.

As to our dead voters here in IL - the DOJ is starting to look into that and are finally arresting said dead voters and putting them on trial and in prison. Naturally I mean the corrupt politicians. Our ex-gov, 'Lyin' George Ryan (RINO) was just convicted on 22 counts and will be going away for a loooooooooong time. Given his age it will be a life sentence :-)
(I've always hated his rotten, corrupt, guts)

And 'Da Mare' of Chicago, Richie Daley is shaking in his boots. There's more Feds roaming City Hall now than patronage workers. He'll be going down in the near future - someone will sing to avoid a long stretch in the pen.
