Or we complain about politicians who leave office and become lobbyists. If you don't pay them anything (to supplement for the time away from work they are missing) and don't give any benefits, then all you are ever going to have running for office is rich people or folks of moderate income who are looking at office as a stepping stone to lobbyist wages. And retirees, too I suppose. Don't get me wrong, I don't think anyone should get rich serving in office but we have to have some acknowledgment that there is a monetary loss by serving especially in state positions. In a perfect world, I would pay those in office more AND limit the money that can be spent on campaigns. Then maybe we can get some folks in there to get this country back to more of a "citizen legislature" rather than just the rich and privileged. All the best, Soop - Soop.

A thief, is a thief is a thief . - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Tue, 04 Oct 2011 21:51:32 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9139-poll-shows-lt-gov-sec-of-state-races-close#comment-23018 I really don't like the way Dardenne feathered his own nest. I really appreciate the way Nungesser rattled cages during and after Katrina and continues to be interested in making life better for Louisiana citizens. I'm sick of politicians voting themselves really good retirements & health care while the rest of us will lie dead and broke on the side of the bad, bumpy, pot holed roads. - Morrow Tue, 04 Oct 2011 11:42:21 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9139-poll-shows-lt-gov-sec-of-state-races-close#comment-23008 I don't think that I will vote in these races because we don't have a good choice. They are all bad. In our Parish Presidents race the choices are bad but I will have to vote against the incumbant. - barb Mon, 03 Oct 2011 18:51:06 +0100
