I'm not sure about cutting salaries. Some senators do important work in committees and so on. I think maybe the salaries should be more incentive-based. If you rarely show up and don't pull your weight with committee work, you should get a drastically reduced salary (if you can't get fired).cherenkovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355986781478585611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-49355575522311906192011-03-14T11:06:37.608-05:002011-03-14T11:06:37.608-05:00What's more important is why do any politician...What's more important is why do any politicians get these lavish spending accounts and pensions. Everything they get reimbursed for should not be allowed at taxpayer expense.<br />Also, their salaries should be cut and their pensions abolished all together. <br />The public shouldn't expect these people to solve all of the worlds problems, so their roles should be minimized to basic functions of government.Gustav Nelsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-29970042629762697482011-03-14T07:41:59.083-05:002011-03-14T07:41:59.083-05:00Send your resume to Sharon Carstairs.
