I don’t think we should pay politicans anything. Once they’re elected, they have all kinds of dough rolling in through backroom deals and schemes. They don’t need taxpayer dollars.
By removing any pay whatsoever, we would accomplish the same goal trying to be achieved with term limits.
Reps/Sinators would not live in DC. They would by nature be part-timers, and go back home to make a buck between LONG recesses. They would not run $million dollar incumbent campaigns for re-election.
The state rep pay in NH is “$200 per term”, and is in their Constitution.
The less time in session, the less damage they can do...
