Politicians Perks

There was an editorial in this morning's Daily Breeze that at first reading, I couldn't believe it.  The gist?  The California Senate drunks don't have to be bothered to call a cab or Uber (and pay their own cash for them.)

Instead the Senate has a new perq for the knee-walking drunks-- a part time driver's job that pays $2,532 a month. 

The Senate's legislate chief of staff remarked that it's an effort to curb legislators driving drunk.  The article lists several of the major offenders.  You might want to read it and if your legislator is on the list, perhaps re-think your vote. 

I'd like to see something passed -anything -  that mandated legislators paying for something themselves.
