Most of big bucks are spent sending them to "conferences." Note that a few took their families along for the ride then went to vacationing on the taxpayer's dime. <br /><br />Anyone notice that conferences make them more effective leaders and legislatures.? I haven't. <br /><br />We could just pay them a fixed amount per year and they pay their own expenses. Say pay them $50K,TOTAL and that's it. <br />.<br />Martin and Hendren's conservative credentials are really showing. <br />.<br />YOUR LINK "lavish spending habits" doesn't work. <br />.L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06824887479667038548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157940712861236775.post-43197485833498780252010-02-14T18:02:02.785-06:002010-02-14T18:02:02.785-06:00Perhaps the NWA delegation could do a ridesharing ...Perhaps the NWA delegation could do a ridesharing stunt to push sustainability.
