[QUOTE="MrBaldy, post: 759313, member: 8262"] Thank you for the welcome to the board. I'm not sure that I made "... blanket calls about cutting compensation...." Perhaps I should have said, no full time elected official should be paid more than the median of his constituents. Surely there are benefits and perks above the base compensation for elected officials. Otherwise they wouldn't spend millions of dollars campaigning for a job that makes a few hundred thousand a year. After considering "... what that means...", I would hope that we can end up with people doing their public service for a few years with the public good as their sole interest. It's the people that have an "agenda" that I have a problem with. [/QUOTE]
