The Associated Press offers a fascinating analysis of this year's state legislature, noting that only two bills have passed during the past few month, but that legislators have found the time each day to have a roll call vote to approve their expenses, to the tune of $292,000.
Remember, we are already paying the legislators $31,000 a year and the General Assembly is in session for five months from Monday night through Thursday. And this does not include meals bought for them by lobbyists, which this blog has noted from time to time.

Randy is off track again. This article is not about the legislature but about the House. the Senate has been quite productive.
in fact Randy, If you will read the 12th paragraph of the article it calls it a contrast.
That is true. But once again, it appears that our Nodler apologist is picking on small details and avoiding every major revelation that has been made about the senator and the way the senator operates.
Hi, today is "Leave a comment Monday", I read it on a blog. I was going to comment that it was good that you brought out information like that until i saw from the other comments that you cut your source to fit your view point. I expect no honesty from politicians but from people like you. Shame.
But in the spirit of the day.
Hi
"Not much being done the state legislature"
That is the best news we can hear! I suggest they pass a budget, then go home and don't come back until next year. I say we should at least change the state constitution and shorten the session.
