Don't knock it. $100 per year per legislator means no incentive to hang out in the state capitol making mischief. I haven't been to New Hampshire in years but they also used to allow the general public to sit in the chairs on the House floor, first come, first served and no preference for legislators. It is not for nothing that New Hampshire has no state sales tax or personal state income tax.

I would bet that Oregon's laws are a LOT more liberal with only 60 state representatives.

Also the joke in New Hampshire is: Be the first in your house to go to the state capitol as a representative!

I am not knocking it, I was just uninformed. Thanks to the FReepers that educated me. Legislators in Oregon are just part-timers that constantly whine that they don’t get paid enough. Oregon is a lberal enclave dominated by SanFran hippie types for the last 30 some-odd years. As much as I despise the political landscape; I was born and raised here and I will not leave this beautiful state. Just hoping that one day the ‘sheeple’ will open their eyes.
