Every elected official should be compensated on a scale that is a maximum of 10% higher than their State’s median income. Expenses submitted should be by line item with receipt and only an approved expense. Tax dollars should not pay for any alcohol, period. No dry cleaning. No private security. No wardrobe. No private car to/from work. Majority of their time should be in their local Capital offices. Travel should be kept to a minimum and approved by fiscally responsible oversight committees. Corporations utilize virtual meeting to save costs and so should our government. No more “working” vacations that taxpayers pay for to exotic locations. Move our government agencies across the USA. Both for security and to end the circle of greed. Family members or their businesses can not be hired. Insider trading will be punished as treason.
