    A Serious Answer to a Rhetorical Question | 11 comments (11 topical, 0 hidden)
    I think it's an interesting idea. (none / 0) (#2)

    Legislators are overpaid. (Aside: For the amount of post-graduate schooling that teachers must acquire and pay for to keep their certification, I'm not so sure all of them are over-paid.)
      Although Whitmer may be a little off with her combination - I applaud anything that brings down the salaries of the legislators. Their only job is to pass the budget and they can't do that. And we really don't need any more new laws and regulations.
      If there need to be cuts, I think the cuts should be close to home and the people passing the cuts should feel them. It's time the legislature realize they are not above reproach and are not so innately special as to be immune from Michigan's money shortfall.
      I am not scared that if legislators pay goes down we will not be able to attract quality people to serve. Because if this is the best and the brightest, we can't do much worse.
