nocturne slrpnk.net "Today, I'll cast my first Senate vote since I took a bad fall back in June." Imagine being able to be away from your job for over 3 months, and still having a job to go back to. Plus he was getting paid during his absence. Every elected government official should have the low side of average health care and medical leave that their constituents have. The mayor in my town has their salary based on the median income of the town. This should also be how elected officials are paid.4Reply
