The real question here is the idea that a state Senator...doing his job to bring home the bacon and provide some additional services for his constituents should get a piece of the action...sort of like a legislative bonus for bringing home the bacon...if the jusry finds that type of conduct to be OK then what kind of bonus should the Mayor , Governor or congressman get for bringing home a piece of the $900 billion stimulus bill...does 20% sound right... anyone...anyone want to put forward an opinion....
