And then they can go out to the -- -- center and and and to does this to a corner stores and shake hands with people. While the incumbents have all -- the day and -- because they have nothing -- they have to do their -- has stopped. Until the election and that is just so unfair that the probably one of the basic reasons why this system doesn't work. How about every Anderson and the citizens for limited taxation know all too well. That he is lawmakers he's legislators are getting paid anywhere from 65200. Grand a -- factoring. You know their mileage there expenses and what they get cute for the championships of these committees some of the committee during a neat -- that's a whole other product. In the senate where the where all of them have some. An extra position. Instead almost every single one of them gets CX anywhere from what is it five to 151000 dollars a year is that accurate. At a can be more you know for ways and means and and and I think revenue. -- about some lawmakers in making a hundred grand now when you think they go home in August -- not -- July 31. That's it they don't have any more informal sessions that they have to show up for so the lousy one elite but they actually did. Have to show up the work is now gone so they have the entire month of August off. And then also all the I know you tend to think gonna kill it has to do a lot of occasions as one of the summer months. But an election year there will not be back until after the election so they would have August September October. Off to campaign. Just disgusting Barbara Anderson I mean of real issue you know when you can't today's seem to get things done and now lawmakers make a hundred bucks a year. I'm not a hundred. In April that did their part time legislators. So they don't sit around for months looking for mischief to cause you to one of the downsides of course of having the the people showing up for work. Now I'm proud of them are some important things that we -- members -- most of these lawmakers who didn't show up today. All stupidly put into their mileage that party him. So -- What do we do -- if I noted they did not in the -- answer is pretty much not think is look at the same response at the Harold when they tried to get the parking. Garage records. Really told by the governor just because. That would the new request that was very clever and and and I did enjoy The Herald making that effort. And I don't think we're gonna find out that there are people parked in -- who shouldn't be just that there are people being hired by the throughout. Boys who shouldn't be. At these about activation rather that's why did their best done not in the very original course excuse that it's just kick it -- it's a safety problem. But they could Danny Uggla has -- what you should be able to get those. Addicted -- such a joke first of all we now know that this is about. They never show up for work AMP. People will -- parking for Fareed that her relatives cousins mothers my does. Of these lawmakers we know that one of the law makers. -- this state back from Braintree mark who's at was getting busy with one of the aids and you know the night. At the -- on the floor. On the floor we remember correctly is what he Harold wants to attempt it yeah. Exactly -- and -- -- it's shocking fact is that these lawmakers. And write legislation. That says the air per Diem is secret so we can't -- the records because they have executive privilege of sorts. In response to releasing records. So we used to get the -- all the time now you can't do that anymore. You can't get it day by day accordions. Or at least I haven't been able to maybe this is maybe they're just said -- to me. Then why would they do that when you're. If such a friendly radio -- I Dow up -- Edison did they just make your lap dog and he did it hit that shot do you at all that 36 out of forty states senators didn't show up for work today. Well it was an informal session right yes that they'll work anyhow. Exactly it's an even when they do show up they don't -- match which is sometimes the good thing so it gets complicated. But if people really don't like the widow legislature is the one thing they can do is what they did just two years ago. They can vote against enough incumbents. But just because they come at -- because they know they doing some of these things they have to be reading the paper they have to lift the topic if they have to pay attention. Once they know how they're being misrepresented are not represented at all. They really have to vote against the incumbent -- when they do they instead of after the legislature. So adamant that the behavior that is the and we don't have a tax increase this year because that the number of Republicans who won against. Incumbents in two and twenty -- Well hopefully that is going to continue Barbara Anderson have you ever thought about writing a book.

And talk about them as much as I can't I'm particularly intense that a question EDT -- scandal which is just priceless. And -- next week is going to recommend to Mitt Romney that they have an ad.
