There has been a lot of talk about cutting back on the benefits package legislators receive lately. I, for one, think this an awful idea. If we make it more costly for citizens to serve in the legislature, we'll be barring good representatives who aren't wealthy from seeking office. While there's nothing wrong with wealthy representatives, shouldn't the citizens' legislature we're supposed to have sitting in the Capital reflect the demographic makeup of the citizenry?
