8 years and out is right. Also, ban retirement pay once they’re out.

Even better would be term limits – 8 years and then out.

I’m headed off to a local Tea Party meeting in the morning .. I know one of the agenda items I’m going to add would be that we closely review/encourage the Citizens to initiate a Constitutional Amendment governing Congress’s compensation plans.

My feeling is that they need to be closer to the average American family’s annual income and comparitive benefit packages. We might find we get more folks with the idea/interest of “public service”, and who don’t stick around forever.

That whole comp thing needs to be looked at.

No big surprise there, our local county just gave a “manager” a $50k pay raise (yes you read that correctly). There have also been various pay raised from $4 -16k per year.

Despite the local county being in the red and inacting an outrageous tax on poured drinks – causing a lot of harm to the local bars and restauranteours.
